Agreed. You can note that reviews in Stereophile routinely mention problems
that we have encountered with the review samples, particularly when it comes
to the measurements.

And on the subject of this thread, I have published reviews that are at
least in part negative of products made by people for whom I have respect
and have also published very positive reviews of products made by people
that I would cross the road to avoid. As I tell my writers, the readers
are the ones who make it possible for you to put food on your table and
your primary obligation as a reviewer is to them.
