RE: Sorry, Charley.

You got me there.

Doesn't change the fact that Stereophile briefly covered surround-sound components in their main reviews. Readers complained bitterly that they did not want that stuff in the magazine. The compromise was reached to relegate all surround-related stuff to s separate column that most readers skip completely.

For one reason, very few people give a damn about surround sound. For another reason not many view your reviews as particularly insightful. Your most recent column found that the Playback Designs new DACs sounded perhaps slightly better than, what - a Japanese receiver? I don't think there are thousands of readers waiting two months to find out what your opinion is on the latest surround-sound equipment. Instead it more likely a case of needing enough editorial pages to meet the desired advertising pages to editorial pages ratio.
