I look forward to a magazine-purchased Halcro-Wavac
comparison in S&V.


I was under the impression that equipment was loaned to
magazines for review. Is there a special surcharge for
reviewing the more expensive models?

Arny criticized Atkinson because Stereophile borrows
while S&V buys review samples, so I was having some fun.

Never said any such thing.

At any rate, it was delusional fun. AFAIK S&V gets review samples from
vendors, same as ever.

While buying avoids one kind of bias for inexpensive
gear, a magazine with "fractions of a million dollars"
investments would have an obvious interest in the resale
value of the reviewed devices.

False claim based on false premise.
