We all figured there'd be changes after Stereophile was sold by TEN to AVTech, a few small ones were made but today I learned this,
"Today, Stereophile announces its first major Editorial changes in decades, with an expansion of the Editorial team and a change in leadership.
Since 1986, through many generations of corporate ownership, John Atkinson (right, above) has been the Editor and bedrock of the magazine. After nearly 331/3 years, JA has decided to relinquish daily responsibility for producing the magazine and as of April 1 will take on a new (and newly established) position: Technical Editor. Stepping into his shoes as Editor will be long-time Stereophile contributor Jim Austin (left, above)."

An interesting change in personal, I'm not really sure what to make of putting Austin at the helm, but time will tell.
As long as JA remains on-board as the new "Technical Editor" doing measurement reviews I'll stay on the sub rolls but if that should change for the worse, Stereophile will turn into just another phools wasteland competing to see who can write the most poetically infused articles.
