None of these manufacturers advertised in Stereophile. But to cut
a long thread short, this is argued by the likes of ScottW to be
irrelevant, becausse we gave the products positive coverage due
to the manufacturers might wanting to advertise in the future. So,
to sum up: if the manufacturers advertise, the reviewer is guilty
of corrupt behavior; if the manufacturers don't advertise, the
reviewer is guilty of corrupt behavior. :-)
