RE: I just got a letter

OK, I've got it all solved now...

It appears that Stereophile is a publication of TEN-The Enthusiast Network ans that group uses a tactic known as "negative option" for their Preferred Automatic Renewal Program.

It's just like the record club dodge where you get sent the record unless you opt out every month. Here you get renewed and billed automatically unless you call them like I just did and tell them to discontinue your subscription.

It would appear that Stereophile per se had little to do with this implementation and it was a corporate decision at a higher level.

So if you wonder why you've been renewed w/o your approval to Stereophile, Sound and Vision, Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Baseball America or any other TEN magazine, it's because the guys in the corner offices know they can make more money this way.
