Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

"A reviewer can omit or minimize shortcomings or problems"

Sure, but how does accommodation pricing affect that? Back to my example of the Roksan Xerxes X: it had a fatal machining defect and the on / off switch broke the first time I pushed it. I could have bought the thing at wholesale if I chose to, but why on earth would I buy something that was so boring that I fell asleep listening to one of my favorite records on it? Accommodation sales to reviewers have been discussed here for a couple of decades, but no one has ever been able to explain how the availability of a discount that the reviewer doesn't want to exercise will cause him or her to flatter a crap component, or how the availability of a discount will cause that reviewer to assail a good component.
