good points, Charles

I remember when Primedia acquired Stereophile, there was a lot of concern, including expressed in this forum that Stereophile would become another "Motor Trend" (a pejorative) as a result. And, for a time, it seemed that the "news hole" (i.e. the number of pages devoted to editorial, as opposed to advertising, content) shrank.

That, too was discussed here, including by JA, who was pretty candid about the need to have a certain ratio of editorial pages to advertising pages.

But, I agree with you that, the way this has all "turned out in the wash" is pretty good. It does not appear to me that the magazine has suffered editorially under Primedia's ownership; and my perception of the magazine is that it has "stayed on course" despite the change(s) in ownership.

I certainly can't say that for TAS, although I have never followed that magazine as closely as Stereophile.
