Really?

> Sadly, I believe TAS and Stereophile have sold out to MQA.

Given that MQA has not spent one penny advertising in Stereophile, it is
difficult to see how we "sold out."

> It's all about selling magazines now.

Er, if we didn't sell magazines, we couldn't pay writers and staff, nor
buy paper, not pay printers, etc. We are a business, not a charity. Just
like every other magazine or webzine, past and present.

Perhaps he is not representing Ayre Acoustics when he posts to the Asylum?
Perhaps he grits his teeth when an Ayre product gets a positive review in
Stereophile? Perhaps he draws a distinction between the street theater
that is the Audio Asylum and the real world? You need to ask Charley.
