Swampwalker: your making sense when you state 12/12 correct, twice in a row is pretty darn remote.I would gather if Clark lowered the numbers 12/12 correct,there would be a better chance of passing the test. The more you play and listen the more c... 
How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp
Phaelon: I don't know myself but they all seem to fail...I don't think the testing was constructed to mislead but to teach. I remember Arthur Salvatore writing somewhere when he opened a very expensive mono amp, asking why so much for so little in... 
How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp
Phaelon: if you can’t hear a difference between amplifiers, then there isn’t any....and you’re deaf! that statement is now getting very tired. Please tell us why no one has passed the test? I am not in anyway saying that when pushing amps towards ...

Magic Eraser used for vinyl cleaning?
Wendell: The eraser is quite soft and is nothing more then micro fiber. I hear no damage from using it and have used 12times using firm pressure on the same recording {clap hands}. I would have no reason to use it on mint LP's but abused, yes. I w...

Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen
Vandersteen makes a great speaker for what little payed. Wilson's on the other hand does have the snob appeal that Vandies will never have. The Vandersteen 5a rank very high sound and built. And that boring sound you hear from the 5a might just be...
