I do not have any preference between your publication and the other oublication. To me, audio press (print or web) is nothing more (or less) than infotainment. The question whether reviewers should buy equipment or get it for free (long term or short term) is irrelevent.
Reviewers should have ears, an open mind and the ability to communicate effectively.
If you feel you are doing better than the other guy because you spent $60k over the last 30 years, I - and most of us around here - would also qualify for the job don't you think?
Kent Nagano says he doesn't have a stereo at home. Does it mean he wouldn't qualify as a Stereophile reviewer?
