RE: "Stereophile continues to be the best of the audiophile publications..."

Pretty much a win by default.

This thread?

Priceless!

What can not be argued is that Stereophile exists to serve the industry because ads, not subscriptions, pay the bills. We need no further proof of this when JA explains "it is widely known in the audio industry" that his wife is in charge of ad sales.

He did NOT say that it was widely known to his readers.

Not that I find anything wrong with with the fact that he's married to the person in charge of ad sales.

The larger problem, and it's not MY problem, is that the 'audio industry' to which he refers is very small and magazines like Stereophile are dependent on that industry for their economic survival. To deny that this dependency does not, in some small way, influence editorial tone is to deny reality.






First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
