Policy Statement

We pledge to review products fairly.  All equipment submitted for review will be installed and used in our coach, which Ed refers to as a "rolling laboratory."  Often, similar products will be installed concurrently, so comparisons can be drawn.  We will refrain from making direct brand name comparisons, however, some logical  conclusions may be presented.  Although we will not endorse a product that does not meet our minimum standards, we will not publish a negative article--we will just not publish.  In addition, the manufacturer will have the opportunity to read a review article before publication to avoid technical errors.

  If you have suggestions about topics for articles, please contact us.
