I have no problem with reviewers, or anyone, for that matter, receiving an accomodation in the pricing of equipment they purchase. With respect to the Continuum purchase, I know there was a lot of talk here about Mr. Fremer's purchase of that table and his rave review. I can understand why Mr. Fremer (or the manufacturer) does not want the specific price disclosed.All I want to know is whether that price was disclosed to you or anyone else at the publication and whether any kind of policy or vetting applies to such purchases. There is a BIG difference between paying a distributor's price, or say 40% or retail, and paying a nominal price that allows someone to claim the item was "purchased."
