There's Arthur Salvatore's 6th Rule of Audio Reviewing:
6. You must never mention the actual costs, even at retail prices, of the parts that are used to manufacture the component.
Towards the bottom of this page, amongst his other rules: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RR-STEREOPHILE.html#Hansen
This rule goes along with his first rule:
1. Never anger any protected audio industry entity, such as:
A. An important current, or potential, advertiser; including manufacturers, distributors or retailers, or...
B. Any other audio establishment which has a "personal relationship" with you.
