RE: It is a load...

"How does this pricing influence a reviewer?"

I don't think it does. I would say a good portion of the gear reviewed by TAS and Stereophile are unaffordable, even at 50% off to the reviewers.

Proof is..Neither John Atkinson, Valin, Harley, and a slew of others have not made any significant purchases of gear they reviewed.

I believe all the amps and speakers Mr Atkinson has praised like the Lamm amps and Wilson speaker were either sent back to the factory, (in the Wilson review JA actually said if he were buying his last speaker, the Alexia would be it) or remain in on loan.

Fremer is a big exception and has spent a fortune, even at accommodations.
