Do you also ask for "followups" for products that receive glowing recs?

There are differing views of many products amongst reviewers. As just one example, here's what Tone Audio said about the Coffman GA-1:

"So with that in mind, we award the Coffman Labs G-1A one of our Exceptional Value Awards for 2012 and look forward to the company's future offerings."

It was panned in S'phile.

I've heard a number of products subsequent to reading very positive reviews of 'em and my ears told me they were mediocre or worse, and not even remotely worth the asking price. I don't suggest a follow-up in hopes of a different reviewer agreeing with me.

The last thing I want is for hifi mags to base decisions/assessments on the effect they'll have on the success or failure of a product or manufacturer. I want mags to serve the needs of their readers and hifi buyers, not manufacturers. I sure as hell don't expect/want every single reviewer to react the same way to every product.

Jeez, as it is the % of negative reviews in any hifi publication is tiny.
