<< John Atkinson has clearly demonstrated in the past he will do what is required to make Stereophile commercially successful. >>Your unfounded implication is that he will "whore" the magazine to do so. This is bullshit.
You may not have been around to remember Stereophile in its pre-JA days, but I was. John turned a magazine that perpetually late (as much as many *months*!) into one that came out exactly on time. He changed it from an alleged six times a year to monthly magazine. He increased the size from the "digest" format to something that could actually be sold on a newsstand. He hired a strong, consistent team of writers that could put out a quality product.
So your original statement is absolutely correct. But the magazine's success was the result of hard work and a clear vision, not cheap ethics.
