Of course, it's always about money. Some one has to pay for writing, editing and publishing. Stereophile didn't exactly thrive in those first twenty years....it barely survived. TAS was in even worse shape. The model will not work today for a print magazine. The costs are simply too high. It may be possible with an emagazine where the costs are much lower and people may be willing to do it as a hobby but not as a going business concern. The WEB is the tool for those who want a focus
on DIY. Don't expect it from an established magazine that is expected to be profitable.
