Art Dudley, Listener's editor and owner, didn't accept long term equipment loans nor did he allow his writers to do them. The trade discount was less important because I deducted the cost of whatever equipment I bought. I didn't buy new gear very often anyway; I probably averaged one component a year during my time writing for Listener. The larger points are 1) the number of people who make a living from writing about audio can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and 2) for part timers, the pay for writing an article is little more than an honorarium.
