| Unusual TAS bomb I think, TAS made a mistake, they hired a reviewer who is not deaf and was able to identify a pencil after the first try. I am sure, this mistake will be corrected soon... | |

| Why does your turntable sound the way it does. Sometimes I hire a retired medicine man for a dance around my table. After 30min of howling and dancing he leaves, I am ready for a critical listening and I think, it sounds better. | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Hi Last Lemming,strange. When I bought mine I got from the very first moment its sonic presentation and after "burn in" it just became a bit more in every sonic area but I never had such a dramatic sonic change from bright to smooth (or something ... | |
