In Reply to: Freeloaders? posted by Barabajagal on July 22, 2014 at 15:54:57:
While not exactly my view as a manufacturer its pretty close.
Content is what all magazines in the industry need. Review samples are a source of content.
FWIW it costs something to take a perfectly good example of our work and take it out of the revenue stream. Hopefully the nice review will do us some good down the road and we have got a lot of nice ones over the years. But guess what? Surprise! Just because you got a good review does not mean that you will get any sales boost off of it. Sometimes you do though, IME the latter is less common than the former.
I object to being labeled a 'freeloader'; we did offer an amplifier to Srajan for review some years ago but he refused, on account of the amplifier (S-30, see link) was too hot or something (I've seen him review hotter amps in his pages many times). We've not attempted it since.
