RE: That's WAY too much information, Mister! LoL! (nt)

>All reviewers work more or less for a manufacturer at some point, either
>formally or informally.

This is incorrect. And in the few instances here it is true, this
magazine's writers don't work for any manufacturers while they are on the
magazine's masthead. See the link below, where it says "Stereophile
reviewers and editors do not act as paid or unpaid consultants for audio
companies. During the review process, reviewers confine their interactions
with manufacturers to logistics and social pleasantries. The purpose of
the review process is to inform the readers, not to assist in behind-
the-scenes product development, no matter how flattering that may be. It
should go without saying that the usual rules of journalistic integrity
apply. Other than meals, and travel expenses for factory visits,
Stereophile's reviewers and editors do not accept from manufacturers
payments or gifts worth more than $100."

> If I remember correctly, Johnathan Scull worked for Furutech...

Still does. But it was _after_ he left Stereophile and was no longer on
the magazine's masthead. Would you prefer Jonathan collect unemployment?

John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
