    Not to look a given horse in the mouth or anything, but asking for a high quality audio review and offering a device that is designed to reduce audio quality, is not much of an incentive. Sort of like rewarding the best vegan with a free hunting license.

    If I could recommend something: how about offering prizes that are more specific to the category, for example a phono preamp to the best analog review.

    Jusy a thought.

    Now thats a good point. Its like rewarding a audiophile with a BOSE 301 or some Canadian Mini Monitor. How about some rare Vinyl pressing, Magnan cable or a tube phono pre.
    Lots of music but not enough time for it all

    Wow I had no idea so many reviews were written. I am glad there is not a contest every month. You would have time for nothing else.
