at least for the consumer. we will find out quickly who really loves the hobby 'as a consumer or hobbyist does', or who is using an accomodating situation to fuel an appetite for luxury items. the shake-out will indeed happen naturally, if 'real' rules are in place. one 'code' fits all. it will be a revelation how many mega priced components will suddenly 'not' be touted as the greatest. the hobby and the industry will both be better for it. friends will remain friends, but as in the world outside of audio circles, those whose friendships are based on monkey business, will fade. no individual writer should disclose anything provided magazines state that their contributers are not allowed to receive accomodation from manufacterers period. otherwise its a shell game.
