Subscription

Our subscription comes to One-Million-USD-Per-Year ($1,000,000.00 USD) which is an outlier on the stereo system exchange budget, though OK.

If you factor in CD replacement cost [link]You may find you enjoy another publication. The Absolute Sound is fantastic. Tone Audio is adept. We like ours, but oh well.

 Say, er, Stereophile. That's rather less expensive, though more difficult to operate.

Now your subscription (fundraising, 3.6%) goes directly to our gear replacement so your $1,000,000.00 USD annual expenditure (that of a single subscriber) will then in course allow us to venture $3,000 USD a month on stereo gear.

A. Of course your hedge fund manager (should you not be one) will take 5% of deposits and 20% of profit - though 3.6% is a rather high rate.

Your bank manager, maybe a little less.

We know you would find 2-3% more acceptable, in terms of our margin, but for simplicity we've taken US and Canadian currency at par in this 3.6% too allow for a tidy $3,000.00 CDN / month, though still subject to Canadian taxation.

That's about it for us.

B. Note: No Double Dutch (Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich) then - our models are Fillipinas - in terms of taxation - we are actually a purchasing service - but Double Dutch in terms of our date. You give us money to buy stereo gear (a resplendid service) for you - how Christmas - and we adjust a 2-3% margin to allow for our magazine.

That's about it for our annual subscription.

Yours,

JP

+ Our main purpose is to foster the culture of the stereo buying industry. We assume that if you have 12 (ten) Murchialagos then you may enjoy a new stereo a little more.

Our joy is to see your joy taking a new stereo (or stereos) component each and every month. That's one little amp or CD or pre-amp. Not at the $5,000.00 USD level. Out with the old, in with the new.

Please excuse this last bit of writing. Paragraphs A/B. Paragraph a. You wouldn't of course be using an investment (hedge fund or otherwise) manager to manage your money if you were a subscriber. You would be running your own industry. This was just a bit of writing. Paragraph b. This was just a bit of writing, also, but there was so much pleasure in thinking of the double meaning of double dutch as both a taxation arrangement and a stereo stream (although the term was Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwhich in terms of income, we misthought the term was Double Dutch just prior to writing) (and of course taking a percentage of another's money on a date to purchase an item (say a subscription) is not gregarious, more like an income manager, it is actually lowly and small.

With your subscription you will be getting new gear at a new gear level.
