In Reply to: DUT Return Policy posted by bjh on February 20, 2007 at 17:45:36:
...manufacturers usually do not reuse cables or want them back.Used amps, preamps, speakers and the like are returned and become demos for the manufacturer to use at shows or for dealers to use in their stores.
Cable manufacturers are usually very generous about sending their products (except for the stratospherically priced models) to reviewers.
There have been instances I can recall where a cable manufacturer offered to provide his cables to any of the magazine's reviewers to cable their complete systems - as a method of promoting new cables.
In other instances, a speaker manufacturer may request a cable maker send his cables to the reviewer for use with his speakers.
At TAS, we would sometimes exchange cables with other reviewers just to hear what else was out there.
