...subscriptions make up a very small percentage of the publication's income. As one poster pointed out, advertising revenue is what keeps things afloat, and advertising rates are based on circulation. So it makes sense to boost circulation by keeping subscription fees low. Some of us who have been reading TAS and Stereophile since the early days may have been weened on publications with lots of editorial content and very little (or zero, in the case of early TAS) advertising and therefore get disoriented by today's business model as it relates to these publications.
