"The only question then is did the Caliburn review appear in a column, or did it appear in the review section. If the former then we would be forced to conclude non-adherence to the SF's published review policy, if the latter then I'd have to say it appears odd that a mention in "column reporting" lead to awarding the product 2006 Analog Product of the Year!

Anyway as to the question of where it appeared in the publication I believe you should be qualified to provide the answer... thanks in advance."

The Caliburn appeared in the review section as far as I recall, and on the cover for that matter.

As to why you would find it odd that a column report would lead to product of the year, why? A regular production product available in the USA reported on in the magazine, demonstrated in public many times, sold as a matter of ordinary business, and exceptionally meritorious - what disqualifies it from being worthy of Analog Product of the Year?

My question to YOU is - how do you intellectually distinguish the Continuum from the Simon Yorke (The Series 7 won 1998 Analog Product of the Year) and the Rockport Technologies (Sirius III won the 2000 Analog Product of the Year)?

In all of these cases direct-sale turntable products were reviewed even though they did not offer a 30 Day MBG, and they received Analog Product of the Year awards.
