Re: It's subscriptions mail-out day!

the record spot:
Clare Newsome:

It's very obvious...

Look out for phrases such as:

"a landmark product that redefines the performance level at its price point"

and

"There are good products, there are great products, and then there's the xxxxx...We don't often describe products as astonishing, but that's the only word for this" 



Clue: It's also the first name of a former US Secretary of State.

Blimey, talk about giving it away...chuh!



also the baddie in a nic cage film :-)

I always think Raymond Vincent Calitri is such a daft name for a hi-fi company...

Waiting list - we're under the 12 month mark now. We could get in as adults, it's the family membership (whereby the adults can get lashed while the kids play in a safe - for which read locked in - environment) which is like gold dust. And costs about the same.

Re: It's subscriptions mail-out day!

Great review of 'THE' product. The manufacturer must be thrilled.

I have 2 questions:

1) Why couldn't you devote main photo on the front cover to it? Or does it have to be a TV every month...?

2) Are you going to have to now adjust every review rating in the future for similar products (even those much more expensive) given the success of this one?

Re: It's subscriptions mail-out day!

The cover structure changes all the time and the products that feature always depend on timing (when kit actually arrives) and the  important meetings within the team where we work out the big things you want to read about...

As far as reviews go, our review policy is always based around performance per pound...
