More superlatives than a Bill Fitzmaurice design!. Gotta be good for ya. Looks like a DIY version of a "white van" speaker.

The problem is that the editor has gone senile in his old age and I suspect a little nasy,he users the editorial page at the start of the mag every month to rail against anyone and everything however remotely connected to electronics.

It is always good to have professionals from all spheres here; I didn't realise you are a doctor, nor did I realise that editorials should be used for a purpose other than "editorial comment". You live and learn.

But... You gotta love that kitchen cabinet look and silver screws

It IS based on a kitchen cabinet, so that builders don't have to do the critical woodwork. The article makes that clear.

I own a few issues of the silicon chip magazine. My opinion is that it is basically a cool mag but that its editor seems to be a know-all, sometimes ranting about subjects he doesn't seem to have the slightest knowledge of....

Without that "know-all", Australia would not have an electronics hobby magazine. It is a very small market so to keep it running for so long is remarkable. I buy it every month, even if it is only to support the magazine. Publications such as this are becoming rarer and rarer. I have seen the editor admit to his error; how many people do that?

Ok, this is a joke right? Nobody can seriously publish such an awful looking magazine in this day and age. Am i the only one who finds the use of an under age girly on the front cover just a little bit creepy?

Quite possibly. I didn't think about that at all and was surprised that anyone would say something of that ilk.

Really - do they expect us to believe this BS?

Pretty bold claim.
I seriously doubt that they sound better than my Strads or look better either.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The Strads dwarf my Arias.

That is smart thinking.

Yes, Leo Simpson bought the magazine rights and has kept it going.
It is notable that SC is one of the remaining few hobbyist electronics magazines, and that many overseas readers subscribe.
