That happens--rarely, but it happens.

One case in point, perhaps ironically enough, is that I heard (using headphones only, but also using tracks I had recorded) Bricasti's M1 DAC at a pro audio show and asked for a review unit when they were ready. I wrote up the Bricasti M1 in my column. I was knocked out.

My recollection is that when I sent the M1 to John Atkinson for follow-up measurements, he was so impressed that he turned what I assumed was to be a follow-up into a complete review, and the Bricasti M1 was shown on the cover of that issue.

There was one other case in my experience when this happened, IIRC it was the Vivid B-1 loudspeaker, which again I covered first and then JA was so impressed he gave it a full review and IIRC it also was on the cover.

I don't recall whether JA did a full review of darTZeel's NHB-108 that I had first covered, but I do remember laughing out loud when I read in the Measurements that due to a test-bench mishap, "the transistor performed as designed, blowing itself up to save the fuse."

Or words to that effect.
