The new issue came in the mail today. It's now called "Stereophile Ultimate AV".
The first chance I noticed is the tabloid style headlines on the cover.
SHAKE THINGS UP - SUBWOOFERS TO ROCK YOUR WORLD
5.1 VS 7.1 - THE GREAT CHANNEL DEBATE
Oh brother.
Article headlines and attention grabbers now cater to the least common denomenator. "DVD ALERT!".
Well, I guess the good news is that maybe my subject line was a bit harsh. It's "soul" still seem to be intact. But clearly they've lost their "small enthusiast rag" nature and the ship is now being steered by their large publishing corporation overlords. We'll see how it goes from here.
