... to put all rumors the "puff piece" review stories to bed:I would like to see a list of all the items submitted for review in each issue.
My guess is that many pieces are submitted, but few are chosen for a written review (for whatever reason). If the reviewer has a sub-optimal piece of gear to review, it's much easier (and less likely for lawsuits) to decline to review it rather than write a bad review.
Hence the mostly positive reviews we see. The exception may be equipment for which review is demanded by its popularity on other forums and the review just doesn't like.
I would also like to see a "second opinion" on each piece of gear. I find it hard to believe that these magazines don't have the resources to let someone else listen to something for a week or two.
And no, I really don't buy that it takes months to review a piece, unless the reviewer has another full-time job/family/etc.
I don't know how many review for a 'living.' or as a primary pasttime
