About Ian G. Masters

Ian G. Masters has been covering audio and video equipment since 1972, for more than a decade as editor of an internationally-respected Canadian consumer electronics publication, AudioScene Canada, and for a further three years as editor of Inside Audio Video.

From 1984 on, he was a regular presence in New York's Stereo Review, the world's largest home-entertainment equipment magazine. Since 1984, the magazine published more than 50 feature articles by Masters, plus a 14-part series on the basics of audio and video and a further 12-part practical guide to buying home entertainment equipment. He wrote the monthly Q&A column for the magazine from 1986 until the magazine merged with Video to become Sound & Vision in early 1999. His Q&A column continues in the new magazine, for which he is a contributing technical editor. He has also written on an occasional basis for other magazines published by the same company: Audio, Sound & Image, Car Stereo Review, and others.

During the same period, he was a contributing editor for Canada's leading consumer electronics magazine, Toronto-based Sound & Vision (no relation to the later U.S. publication of the same name). His contributions included numerous articles on audio and videotopics, equipment test reports and a regular video column that began in 1985. In May, 1996, he was appointed editor of the magazine, a position he held until the publication produced its last issue on the retirement of its owner the following November.

For more than seven years, since its inception in 1994, he wrote a weekly audio and video column in "FastForward," the technology section of Canada's largest newspaper, the Toronto Star, and also had numerous features published by the paper.

In addition, he has been a regular writer for Sydney's Australian Hi-Fi and contributed articles on audio and video topics to Canada's Home Computing & Entertainment magazine. His work has also appeared on Internet-based sites.

Over the years, Masters has been a regular contributor to such diverse publications as Ottawa's Canadian Consumer magazine, and Home Goods Retailing, a national trade publication. On a more casual basis, he has contributed to a wide range of publications, such as Consumer Reports, Flare, Home Decor Canada, Ricky McMountain's Buyer's Guide, the Los Angeles Times, and Tokyo Journal. Oh, and the Journal of the Society of American Archivists!

Ian G. Masters was born in Toronto, and lived there for 45 years. He now lives in the country with his wife Susan, their two cats, and more electronic equipment than they really need.
