If there is a quid pro quo where equipment is loaned to reviewers with an actual agreement that the reviewer will give the equipment a glowing review and then be allowed to sell the equipment I would say that is every bit as bad?
Has such an agreement ever been objectively proven to have happened?
And if so does that give Jay a get out of jail free card?
We could just cut to the chase acknowledge that Hitler was the worst kind of POS and give everyone else a free pass....
I don't *know* that Jay is doing what I suspect he is doing as a matter of fact. But if he is....it's dishonest, unethical and possibly in violation of some consumer protection laws.
But I don't believe any audiophile who is in it for the hobby would plan to sell their holy grail speakers before he even got them home. If you got the best you can't upgrade. If you aren't upgrading when you are buying and selling gear you are doing something else. Business....
