"gave a negative review of a product, then that manufacturer would boycott them, refusing to run ads in the magazine or send them product to review."

That is quite a statement. Where did you come across this information? Please inform as to which publications and manufacturers were involved.

This line of reasoning came from an individual who - townsend 18:47:04 03/28/08 (0)
worked at a high-end audio store. He wasn't some high school kid--IIRC he owned the store.

This conversation took place about five years ago. I was talking with him after purchasing some gear from him & asked which audio/video magazines he preferred. He had strong reservations about the equipment reviews in several audio/video magazines, including "The Perfect Vision."

I deduced that there could very well be a conflict of interest. If a magazine criticized your product and didn't recommend it, would you take
an ad out in that same magazine?

I always look for "conflicts of interest." They're everywhere. I didn't mean to paint everyone and everything "black." But they ain't all white either.
