Stereophile Nov. '09

98.169.158.198

I had just renewed my subscription after about 6 months lapse but was surprised to find the following...
Anyone notice pgs 46 thru 72 are all advertisements(27 consecutive sides of ads). They look like mini product reviews w/ Q&A but if you look hard enough at the top of the page, in small muted white letters, the word "advertisement".
Nice work guys, you have now joined the ranks of my wife's magazines, e.g., Marie Claire, Allure, Ellie & Cosmo, etc...
You have now made it possible to read the entire magazine in one sitting at my local Barnes $ Nobles, over a couple cups of coffee. Nice!!
Bill
