Hey Do HiFi & Home Theater Magazines Get to Keep Items They Review?

Okay, okay, let me add this:



Jeez Ed, what the heck kind of question is that? Think about it. Why would a magazine KEEP any equipment then let an employee sell it for personal gain?? Think about these things before you post, man!

I got $10 that says the first thing you did when you read my post was to Google for a Stereophile Store in your area. Any takers? You Googled it, didn't you?

OMG....now I got a smile on my face.....lol. I was thinking "now, NA is either 1) smoking some SERIOUS dope, or 2) me-thinks NA is pulling Ed's leg....

Anyway, thanks for clarifying for Ed that .... NOOOO. The manufactures certainly are NOT giving the reviewer the goods to KEEP (then resale for profit.....you gotta be kidding me....lol).

Now I'm totally confused. I know music magazines let their reviewers & staff keep CD's that were sent to review. Now I know $500 plus equipment is not the same as a CD but what exactly does happen to the stuff. Is it the magazines property to do as they want or is the stuff supposed to be returned within say 90 days as mentioned in one post here. If it is the magazines to keep, there's a very good chance they do let their reviewers keep the stuff or distribute it to the staff. I don't see why this is such a bizarre question to comprehend.
