| Over damped Room? Not everyone believes you can have too deada room. The famous REG tries to listen in a "reflection free zone" | |
| Best choice for approx. $3000 cartridge on VPI JMW 10, TNT III Another vote for the Kiseki Purple Heart and good enough to be the second cart on Albert Porters table! | |

| CD/Vinyle Estate sale question I am one of the few idiots that buy large intact classical collections, but I am near Dallas and probably can not squeeze in the 10000 discs you have in with the 100000 I have. Dealers will come to you to cherry pick the most valuable items and th... | |

| Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera I put in my vote for objective and professional reviewer REG of TAS. Everyone in the hobby should check out the articles at regonaudio.com | |
| VPI CLAMP It should be noted that the knob is almost the same size as the original translucent disc that came with the early HW19 MKIIIs. It also screws all the way down and seems to put pressure on the lp label. I have now tried it over 3 lp sides with no ... | |
