To qualify for a full review in Stereophile, a product that is
distributed through the normal dealer network needs to be available
from 5 or more US dealers. For porducts that are sold direct, it is
much more of a judgment call on my part whether or not a product
qualifies for review. You can read about this continuing policy at
www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/746/.
For products that are covered in columns (no less rigorous reporting
but no measurements), the 5-dealer rule can be relaxed.
But Mr. Cain's question concerned products that my writers want to
write about but I forbid them to. I['d like to say there have been
_no_ instances of this, as I can't bring any to mind, but over the
past 20 years, there might well have been 1 or 2, hence my equivocal
answer.
