...than I am about ads looking like editorial content. At least the ad says "Advertising". I know reviewers and editors get very indignant about this subject, but it's my strictly SUBJECTIVE view that over the last 30 years, reviews in the major high end audio publications (including web-zines) have become more advertiser friendly. I have also noticed a trend to place an ad which quotes from a review IN THE SAME ISSUE as the review. This gives the appearance of the editorial and advertising departments being in cahoots. There used to be a guideline that the ad couldn't quote the review until the next issue.
