Attaining majority

AudioEnz has just achieved a milestone in its publishing history, celebrating 21 years of hi-fi publishing in New Zealand. AudioEnz was first published in November 1986, under the name of Zounds. AudioEnz was published in print from 1986 through to when the publication made the leap online.

Seven year itch
