That's a real sweeping statement and I'd like to see proof that even 50% work for manufacturers and review at the same time. Actually, very few writers that I know of.

I've never worked for any manufacturer at any time. I've turned down a few gigs, primarily on the music end, because I felt it to be a conflict of interest-or down the road would rear its ugly head. As I also remember from my days at TAS, HP wouldn't allow that either.

As far as I'm concerned, reviewers can't be on both sides of the fence; they can't be audio salesman and equipment writers. They can't work for a manufacturer and do equipment reviewing, regardless or not of the circumstances.
