Why do you give bad advice?
For example some years ago there was a speaker I wanted to hear and I drove from Southern Indiana to Cincinnati and bought them ear unheard as they were in very good condition. They proved to be excellent but not my taste. I sold them to an audiop... 
Why do you give bad advice?
I look for advice from someone whose taste I share and then look for such a product at a good price. In this way I have been able to even order products from overseas which were not available here. Granted that I am vertran audiophile there is a m...

Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt
I was a VPI dealer and had a huge example of an oversized one which has now been discontinued. Heavier than lead and was very good and had more powerful bass than the Linn but not as agile. A friend has it now and he likes it very much. 
Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt
I am using the Sole sub chassis and arm board and top plate. They are very good and improved the sound considerably. The Linn is now the best turntable I have had and I prefer it to the Ravens of my friends. I will not say it is better as I have n... 
Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt
Some tables, especially the Linn, are tremendously affected by what they sit on and others are not. Plus, it's not about damping per-se. It's about what your ears prefer. The Linn likes a relatively flimsy stand. This is what the British review... 
GamuT S-7 or S-9 speaker
I have the L7s and the only problem is they are hard to drive. My CJ 350 fine with them. I am not sure if they will work in my smaller room as I have moved from my house to an apt. have to listen more. 
Best current footers for preamps?
I used the Star Sound points which fits instead of the standard feet on the VPI tables. Screw one out and the other in and noticed a good improvment. I was a dealer for both then and VPI makes a very good table. I am using a highly modified Linn n... 
Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table
Two of my friends had Ravens and I liked the Linn better. They had more weight but the Linn could dance. 
Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table
I am an X VPI dealer and the LP 12 is much better. I upgraded mine but not with Linn gear which is way high. I got a Hercules PS and several after market upgrades. Forgive me I had a brain tumor and it erased much of my memory. They all made a big... 
Looking for way to get good audio from netflix
I have a Netflix box. Forgive me as I have had brain surgery. I have 2 HDMI cables going into my TV but I can't see any coming from the Netflix box but still am getting signal from it. Can't see well now but can get someone to hook it up. Spent 50... 
Sellers Beware!!!
If you use caution it can be all right. I sold a tonearm to a man in Austrilia who was listed as a facualty member on a univ and was as I could tell by our discourse. Went fine. Sold a cartridge to someone in France, took a couple of weeks for the... 
Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have
Life is that which ever must surpass itself! 
With Naim amp - Naim or Teddy Pardo PSU ?
I bought one and was very happy with it. In a weak moment I sold them and now have another Superline. I got in contact with TP some time ago but when I use the site given it tells me that it a dangerous site and to leave it. ??
