Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade?
Dover, the comparison of two points with a knife edge is flawed since the force is concentrated at two points, not over what is presumed to be a line but due to machining accuracy and tolerances cannot have the forces uniformly distributed.

Hiho, thank you as well. The photos are very helpful. 
Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade?
Jfrech: Two bearing points are the horizontal plane and are permanently hidden, and two points are in the vertical plane. The latter are clearly visible and are akin to two inverted unipivots. It's obvious when you see it.Kuzma dealer.

Questions About CAT JC-2
Thankfully these sorts of issues certainly don't apply to most tube amps. 
EAR 324 vs Einstein The Turntable Choice
As a former Einstein dealer, I can tell you the phono stage (balanced version here) is anything but flat and CD-like, nor is it tubey. Shsohis, since you didn't describe at least the associated cartridge and line stage preamp, there is no way to k... 
Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade?

Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Are these actual ads for the speaker or reviews?Not advertising but some sort of pictorial product feature, I believe. Look for some rather retro looking horn speakers in an upcoming issue :) 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Would you believe some high performance speakers are being featured in Elle magazine?

Brent, thanks for posting this. Brian is a good friend, and we speak on the phone pretty regularly. I've known of his condition ever since the first sign that something might be wrong and have been here for him. We've hung out together at shows an... 
JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso
Although I am a dealer, I have no dog in this hunt but can say unequivocally that the Offrande is a music lover's speaker and Bob Neill is a stand-up guy, a class act. I heard the Offrandes at RMAF in October and was impressed with the evolutionar...
