Stereophile Scamming Subscribers?

I just got my renewal notice in the mail. I had previously subscribed for 3 years, and now it was expiring. I have been a subscriber for over 20 years. The notice stated I could renew for the low, low price of $33/year if I commit for 2 years. I figured I would go online and renew that way. I searched out Sterophile.com and lo and behold, a NEW subscription costs only $15/yr with a 2-year commitment.

What are they doing??

I think that when you order a "new" subscription on Amazon, Stereophile delays delivery of first issue for a few months forcing you to use auto-renew if you want continuity.

I renewed my subscription about 4 months ago and for 4 months got two copies of Stereophile. I figured it was not the hassle to call them and complain.

I only subscribe for the digital version and $10.00 

@oddiofyl you are 100% correct and it is so funny.

Interesting, audiophiles spend thousands of dollars on a continuing quest for the best sound, while also complaining about $2.75 a month for a related magazine."

That's funny, but true
