Ozzie..the problem with that is...

that reviewers cannot buy every product they review. I have a pair of speakers I'm reviewing right now that I would love to buy, but I can't.
First off they weigh about 400 lbs each - they are encased in granite. With the large stands filled with lead shot that makes them about 400 lbs per side. Do I want to move those around every time I review another speaker? No...also, they cost about $7k. But that means I could buy them for a lot less, right? No again. They are sold directly so they do not have a distributor's and retail markup. I MIGHT get 10% off. Same with the Halcros I just finished. Should I buy those, too? How about the 2 $10k tables I'm evaluating right now? Ouch. Bill Gates I am not.

THe fact is, there are not many components that have been here that I would NOT love to buy, but I have not purchased one. THe funny thing is, the one thing I have purchased is cables - you know, the things that everyone has tons of laying around.

There are lots of myths floating around out there.
