They review and except advertising from the most absurd foo that any publication with integrity would have nothing to do with. Zero integrity IMO. I can also recall several examples of Alchemist amps having total bollox written about them, and an interview with Ian Rankin in which he admitted sometimes writing reviews on equipment he hadn't even removed from the box. I was asked for a bribe to ensure a good review for the Arkless 640P when I first started making them. I told the publication owner where to shove it, natch. I very much doubt I would ever allow a review of any product I may make.
