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??

You can actually now use the chatbot to get the good rate with Sirius. Don’t have to talk to anyone like you have in the past. 

Jeez.  If you like Stereophile $33 is not much to pay for 12 issues posted though your door.

What the hell are you all looking for?

By the time my subscription runs out I'm freakin' sick of reading it anyway, same old blather.  Can't wait to read the review (on-line) of the new PS Audio DAC as they just did a two page spread, pretty picture!

So I let it run out and take a break from it and then offers start coming in the mail and the price keeps dropping.  Sooner or later I'll jump back in.

BTW, as many people here I don't give a crap about $33!  That's laughable.

@barts    That's my point.  If you don't like it, don't bother with it.  But you say you don't give a crap about $33.  If you don't like it, don't buy it.  Even for $10.

But beware on-line reviews.  If you are interested in the PS DAC, go listen, don't take the word of someone you don't know.
