What Stereophile can't afford is unpopular articles.

This indicates a dliemma for many commerical magazines. They may well have
established a group of frequent readers who have views and expectations of
what they want to read in the magazine. Any change of stance or content
risks losing some of those established readers.

In the longer term, newer readers might start buying the mag. But changes
of content can be risky. So any sigificant change may be "unpopular" if it
conflicts with expectations of those who are used to seeing what they have
become accustomed to in the mag.

Slainte,
