Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile?

My subscription ran out.  Their renewal option on the website was broken, and now there isn’t one. I tried to start a “new” subscription, but it won't accept it unless automatic renewal is selected.  Sorry, I don’t authorize auto-renew if I can possibly avoid it, as a matter if policy - it can be a nightmare canceling those things. 
 

they’re asleep at the wheel, compared to the renewal bombardment reminders  from The Smithstonian.  I consider Stereophile quite entertaining.  Miss AD, won’t miss MF.  Wondering  if something has happened to them…?

Yes, they are challenged in the subscription area. I subscribed a couple years ago and it took them 9 months to get me my first issue.  No reply to emails or voicemails. --jerry

AD has passed on, God bless him.  MF has retired.

MF hasn't retired but moved to TAS.

Yes it is sometimes cheaper to renew with a different magazine seller.

I've been a subscriber since 1983!  Never missed an issue.  I get a renewal notice(s) about 6-9 months out every two years.

I've had a few issues destroyed by the Post Office, but Stereophile had always replaced them without question.
