This actually means that an independant reviewer could get accomodation pricing on a bad product.
Gee, wouldn't it be wiser to get accomodation pricing on highly praised products? I mean, what's the purpose of getting a good deal on something you can't peddle on Audiogon?
Oh sure, the whole independance concept...

...I only purchased products I had listened to.

Others' reviews were not an influence, as I think you're suggesting.

The magazine required reviewers to keep equipment they had purchased at accomodation for a minimum of one year before selling it, and then not selling it for more than you paid.

Any real evidence or just wild-ass speculation on your part?

  Evidence of what?
  
  You just said you relied on your own ears to purchase gear at accomodation pricing and that you had to keep it for a year before ditching it.
  
  I jus say bravo and keep up the good work.

    ...you probably think the CIA killed Kennedy, too.
