Is his attention divided 50-50? Who cares? It seems to us, as it must to most dealers, that the important question is "How can we do more to sell the benefits of stereo?" Furthermore, anther -Wes differ on the statement that stereo demands concert_ hall attention and that it makes little sen,e BEST SELLER! to use it for baekground music. One recording engineer, for instance, told The Billboard that the listener doesn't even have to be in the same room with the phonograph to note a distinct difference behveen monaural and stereo reproduction. Dealers, in their own interest, will incline toward such a point of View' To settle the issue in their own minds, dealers would do well to test it at home. The Wall Street Journal quotes another record company executive, Goddard Lieberson (Columbia), as follows, "Stereo is the most obfuscated subject since the war between thestates." In the event that some dealers might be confused about Mr. Lieberson's remark, it must realize that his chief aim as Columbia's president is the production of recorded music well interpreted. How the consumer ultimately listens to it-whether stereophonically or monaurally-is of less concern than why he would rather buy it on a Columbia disk than any other. Probably the most "far out" statement recorded in the Journal's story was made by William Thomas, head of James B. Lansing Sound, Inc. Mr. Thomas said that "stereo has no place in the mass market" and that it "belongs to the audiophiles." It's hard to guess at Mr. Thomas' motives in making such a statement in light of the fact that virtually every manufacturer ofhonographs for the mass market are producing stereo units asfastas they can. Perhaps, it's-like Goddard Lieberson said-an "obfuscated" Model 832, with optional matching speaker Uuit subject.
