...no one does it for the money, and only a few can give up their day jobs - but it was nice to get a check for a few hundred dollars for a review.
In fact look at all the amateur reviewers writing for the ezines for free.
As a true hobbyist, it allowed me audition a ton of interesting equipment in my home for weeks and months - for free.
And all I had to do in return was write articles about how the equipment sounded - that's not as easy as it looks but I learned a lot about writing.
Not a bad deal - being across the US from the editor allowed me to do my own thing without too much interference.
