Your post had me thinking - I was wondering when the heck I'd receive a June issue. Oddly? Just today received the July issue in the mail.
I double checked the stack on my bedroom nightstand, and yup - May is last issue I received.
Triple checked by searching online to see what the cover of the June issue looks like. Yup - looks like some interesting stuff that I would have actually liked to have read about (especially the KEF Blade 2!)
Well, I won't go bitching about missing yet another issue (which only results in my subscription being extended a month - not the receipt of a copy of the issue I'm missing) - especially since I simply downloaded the June issue of the magazine in PDF format for free. No - not the web version "Zinio" garbage -an actual, portable, printable PDF.
Just sayin' - anyone else who is missing their (paid for print copy) issue could probably quite readily find it via a quick google search.
Partly posted this info for those of us who have paid for a subscription, and partly posted it in case someone from the magazine might be interested in preventing it from being released on the web for free.
p.s.: my download time (since I certainly did NOT pay for registered or premium access) for the 37 Mb file was under 4 minutes, even though the website in question warns that it will be "very slow."

As I have posted many times on the Audio Asylum, if anyone has missed an
issue of Stereophile, email me and I will put a replacement in the mail
right away.> I simply downloaded the June issue of the magazine in PDF format for free.

our content available free on our website, there are always assholes who
offer pirated versions for download. So no matter how entitled you might
feel, please don't download these parasitic pirate editions.

The particular website I found had quite a large number of magazines available for download. Thought by making folks aware of that, someone might actually manage to do something along the lines of getting them shut down.

We have tried shutting these sites down, but without any success so far.
There is also a problem with bit torrent sites making magazines available
free. It's a sad commentary on popular culture that even though we make our
content available for free, people will still steal it.
