hi-fi+ Magazine
October 2025
hi-fi+
is a
magazine that is serious about hi-fi. Our articles are intended to help you get the best from your system, rather than simply telling you to buy another one. Our reviews only cover product that we think is worthwhile. You can read more about that by looking at our reviews policy, but lets just say that our attitude to equipment is rather different, and we hope, much more informative. We haven't forgotten that hi-fi is supposed to be
fun!
A Stream Of New Hi-Fi Products To Enjoy
Plus a bit of reminiscing as extremely affordable audio offers good performance.
Editorial By Alan Sircom
As we lean into the last months of 2025,
hi-fi+ approaches two landmarks; our annual Awards issue and our 250th edition. The naysayers still claim the end of the audio business and printed media are only days away from imminent demise.
We're still going 26 years and coming up for 250 issues later, and the steady stream of new audio products continue to amaze. Maybe those reports are greatly
exaggerated! It's easy to catastrophise and confuse 'change' with 'collapse'. No one would deny the audio world has changed greatly since 1999. But that change is more often than not for the better. Yes, the roadmap for CD-based sources looks to take the format through some very arid places. But, equally,
we're seeing the blossoming of really great sounding streaming products at all
levels. The 'at all levels' part shouldn't be understated. We're seeing a flourishing of extremely affordable audio, offering good performance while still at low prices.
