Curious that.....

...I have yet to see the April Stereophile on the newstand at any of the local Borders or Barnes & Nobles outlets. And yet the 2nd issue of the new big format Absolute Sound has been on the shelf for a few weeks. Is there a shift in the balance of power happening here... ??

I picked up the April edition of Sphile last Saturday. Here in Geneva. Hehehe.
Unfortunately, it cost me 20 SF ($13.00 US). ;^(

What's really curious is that I received my subscription issue at home BEFORE it appeared at Barnes&Noble, etc. Usually, it comes about 2 weeks after it appears at stores.

I found one at the Barnes and Noble in Dallas last weekend. I must admit that different B&N seem to stock differntly. I have found some of them that don't stock any audio mags at all but had mags for TACTICAL KNIFE FIGHTING!! I didn't know there was such a market for them.

there somewhere. I've been to a Virgin Megastore and a Barnes & Noble and have seen the April issue in both these places. It may be that Stereophile is sold out in your local stores?!?! This could be a first. I even read a Feb 99 issue of Fi mag at the Virgin Megastore in downtown SF this past weekend.

I've been in about 10 airports in the past 2 weeks and no Stereophile. I've been forced to read literature.

I still haven't received my sub issue yet. One can only hope that Listener goes to 6 issues a year sometime...

I don't know about "Stereophile" but "The Absolute Sound" just about went under, I hope they can keep their feet on the ground. I miss the l970-80's TAS with their fine graphic art covers. Does anyone know if "Audio Amateur" still exists?

No, these were places that always carry the mag. But tactical knife fighting, huh? Might have to check that one out as a complement to my Soldier of Fortune subcsription ;-)
