Newsletters are the best source I know. Every major components 
manufacturer has them, as well as importers/distributors. They are 
always for free, devoid of superfluous advertisements and filled with 
plenty of information on the latest products. Usually, each item 
description has a number, with which you can apply for detailed 
technical information.
With a collection of those dropping into your mailbox at regular 
intervals, your need for a component magazines might dissolve 
completely. Magazines always have to make a choice from the news 
items offered to them. Newsletters show all the products that a 
company ads to their range,
But I have to admit, advertisements in magazines are a great source 
to find the companies which you want to ask for their newsletter, so 
you should buy one at least once a year .:-)
