P peerson Super Member Aug 12, 2016 #5 Is that the entire article? I would like to read the whole thing if there is more! In fact, I would like to find an original copy. Might look cool in my "Listening Room" (if I ever get it built)

O orthophonic Super Member Aug 12, 2016 #13 Mad did another one on HiFi and Stereo around 1966 or so that was even better. I have it in a closet somewhere.

noogies My Favorite Woofers. Subscriber Aug 12, 2016 #18 Jeez, I read that in a stack of old Mad magazines somebody gave me when I was about ten years old. I think it contributed to my later affliction. Brings back the memories -- thanks for the post!

woofmytweets Super Member Aug 12, 2016 #19 this seems a lot more cerebral than the MAD magazine i grew up with (80s).
noogies My Favorite Woofers. Subscriber Aug 12, 2016 #20 I recall that in the mid-60s Mad became much more political. Along with the rest of the country, I guess.
