RE: Musical Fidelity V90-DAC rating

See, for example, the 2011 thread linked below. Basically, while some
companies are still humming and hawing about whether or not to send a
product to Stereophile for review, especially when they know it will be
measured, Antony Michaelson sends review samples without conditions,
and almost by return.

So when a reviewer finds himself without something to write about, as
happened with Sam Tellig's April column, where another product he had
been promised was delayed by a few weeks, there will always be Musical
Fidelity on hand.

Yes, Antony Michaelson is gaming the system. And, of course, Sam Tellig
could have accepted that he didn't have anything other than Musical
Fidelity to write about for that issue and go without any income for a month.
I am sure the inmates on this forum would have done that. (Yeah, right!)
