| Amir and Blind Testing @chayro Great topic. You have accurately described the problems which arise when trying to assess a new component. IMO the next step is to find ways to overcome the biases and desires of our mindset. Lets face it, when we spend $1, 2, 5, 8K on a... | |
| Turntable - The Next Step I believe your next step is a VPI Scout or ScoutMaster. The original Scout got rave reviews. The Scoutmaster was its big brother and even better. I had one before I got my Teres and was well pleased. But the cocobolo just begged me to come get it.... | |
| JPS Labs Superconductor Q I assume you mean 1/4" spades. Can you stick one side of the spade through the hole in the center of the terminal post? This puts the other side of the spade outside the post which can be a problem. However you can cover that part of the spade wit... | |

| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube @jjss49 I have been told this before and will heartily agree.

| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 Neither of you have listened to what all is out there nor have I. So his opinions are based on his 50 years of limited experiences. Your opinion is based on his opinion and total lack of experience. You often agree becaus... | |
| My likes and Disappointments with the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine @aberyclark My curiosity was too great NOT to try one, especially at the price I paid for it. The hardware alone was worth the price. I considered a DIY one. But when I started to try to find proper parts I could see that I was spending a LOT o... | |

I will formulate my finding based on experiences not on what someone says on BB So, why are you even here if you have no desire to listen to others opinions, TV 4 especially from those who probably have a much bigger knowledge base.? Wow! How... | |
| My likes and Disappointments with the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine Sorry to hear of your experience. I also have heard good reports on Audio Intelligent cleaning fluids.
