Bought the October issue of TAS...

76.122.133.81

...to read the cover story on the Berkeley Dac. Looked in the index which said the review was on page 126 . Thumbed through the magazine to page 121 and the next page was 141. Obviously something was wrong. Took the mag back to Barnes & Noble who promptly said we'll get you a good copy. However all copies in the store had the same missing pages. Got a refund but still have not seen the Berkeley review.

Doesn't anybody check these things?

Contact TAS and kindly ask for a replacement copy. I have done this in the past w/o difficulty. Proud subscriber to TAS & Stereophile since 1993.

Mistakes like this happen in the bindery, where the printed 16- and 32-page
printed signatures are folded, cut, and bound. The printer usually has
someone standing by inspecting the output, but if he or she missed it,
there might have been a lot of issues bound with a missing or duplicated
signature.

I am sure that if you contact The Absolute Sound, they will send you a
replacement free of charge, which is what we do at Stereophile when
errors like this happen.

  That's very generous and gentlemanly of you, John, to stick up for a rival magazine. Personally, I suppose I could care less about The Absolute Sound, but I don't see how.

    We may be in competition but we have a common enemy: the printer :-)

It used to be possible to buy a single copy online. It should still be possible.
