In Reply to: RE: High Fidelity Report: Reviewer Accommodations Compromise Credibilty posted by Sprezza Tura on April 30, 2014 at 09:53:47
...they have new publication and they are trying to promote and market it.
There are three people I know of involved - Sommovigo, a former cable manufacturer and distributor, Harry Pearson of TAS and HP's "associate", Joey.
These guys are willing to give up accommodation pricing like it's a big deal but they still ACCEPT ADVERTISING on their site.
Which is more corrupting?
A discount price extended to reviewers along with EVERYBODY ELSE in the audio equipment industry or advertising the audio products you review?
I don't buy that a reviewer is influenced by a lower price on a component when he can get that same discount on ANY audio component - how does that influence him?
Are you that gullible?
Follow Ups:
I will repeat, I am not in any way against reviewer accommodations.
FYI, a few google searches turn up the fact that Sommovigo gifted his reference tier cables to Steve Hoffman, who then has posted about them positively numerous times on his forum. Hmmmmmmm.
Spreading cheese on the right cracker, as he says?
...why did your post seem to agree with the article called "Credibility Gap"?
Where did I agree, I quoted directly from the article. Simply food for though and rather amusing considering Harry Pearson is supposedly affiliated, and he never paid a nickel for a single piece of gear.
I also think it is amusing that a manufacturer would right this article, and then it dawned on me, this manufacturer does not participate in the review process.
...the manufacturer who wrote the piece.
