Maxizum,

Given the extent of payola used in today's society, your skepticism is well placed. However, if you follow the PP2000 threads from the beginning, what you see is a bit of a public relations nightmare for the manufacturer. So many defects, returned units, complaints, customer used for R&D and quality control roles - all for public consumption. This does not seem to be the typical reviewer situation where payola is used for publicity. Outside of a few desperate audio types who read all the posts, I suspect most people will not see a strong endorsement here. To put this into perspective, imagine this site were related to autos, not audio; would you purchase the PP auto after reading all the posts? Most would likely not.

It is worth noting PP did receive however a considerable amount of free advisory, and was willing to take some advice into consideration to presumably improve the product. It is great the PP worked on Beacon Hill; I'm sure we will see how it works in suburban Boston.
