Stereophile Magazine - October 2013 (pdf)

info re: the magazine in general, as i didn't feel right just leaving it blank:

Stereophile is a monthly magazine that focuses on high end audio equipment, such as loudspeakers and amplifiers, and audio-related news, such as online audio streaming. It was founded in 1962 by J. Gordon Holt.
Notable features include their annual "Records to Die For" section, where each editor and writer reviews two outstanding albums of their choice, and the bi-annual "Recommended Components" issue in which audio equipment which has been reviewed in the recent past are classified as "A, B, C or D" level components - A being the most highly recommended.
There are numerous other features which are of great interest to many music and audio equipment enthusiasts. Like all highly specialized "fringe enthusiast" magazines there is much discussion and conflict on any number of issues which are perceived as entirely without merit by the non-enthusiast majority. In fact there has been a gradual decline in the home audio field generally and in the audiophile community in particular, over the last 20 years.
