RE: The correct principle is that a rising tide raises all boats

Your view of the appropriate responsibilities of the audio reviewer offers a refreshing candor and demands a level of behavioral changes that would put the needs of the street level audiophile ahead of those of the audio manufacturers and the reviewers and their editors. Of course, such a change would entail ending the cozy relationships that have been engendered over the years. Tipping over this apple cart would lead to a very different kind of audio reviewing then we now have. Reviewers would come down from their thrones and serve their real constituency, the people who actually purchase equipment at full cost, rather than the manufacturers who provide them with long term loans and sweet heart deals. The reality is, of course, that this radical shift is 'not in the cards', as the current relationships are historically entrenched and those who benefit are hardly desirous of surrendering either their positions or the benefits that they yield.
