Bob and Brad, there is a new thread on this very topic addressed to those in the industry. As you are both in the industry and recognize the issues, you might want to post your responses in that thread. As a hobbyist, I won’t participate but I will read and learn.

in the end, I suppose people will simply act and respond as they see fit.

Then for gods sake man get a serious recording device so you don’t have to always apologise and hand wring over the damn video quality.

So funny. I have written some youtube influencers and said their video suck because, they wave the camera all around. It literally makes my wife and I sick to our stomach when watching on a TV. And , they have to have a better mic as they never capture the person they are talking to. The person holding the phone comes through loud and clear. The guest is a distant muffled voice. Part of why I never watch youtube of systems. At least till now. I have learned there is some information that comes through that can be extrapolated of value.

Have you ever sold a loudspeaker and if so, can I see a vid with them in a client’s house? Don’t worry about the sound quality. I am easily satisfied

That will be after Ked's video of Ron's system in Zero Distortion comparing tonearms and cartridges.

I took the 2nd option, I hung up my reviewer's pen when I went into the industry. If I stop being involved in the industry as a dealer, I will consider reviewing again....just like to keep things clean...

Keeping things clean -- imo when you became a dealer/distributor this is the honorable way to deal with changing roles as an industry participant. So kudos to you.

Trying to be all things to all people, motivated by, as Peter suggests, sheer self-interest, is, imo, basically giving the middle finger to the audio industry as a whole. Getting all you can by whatever means.

I liked your reviews for Positive Feedback. You write in a straight-forward way and used specific music to explain your view of products. And you wrote a solid show report of Munich 2016 -- that was a lot of work. Did you write for anyone else?

Hi Tim, thanks for the compliments. I have never written for anyone else, just PF.

Provided he uses my LPs...

I already know how zyx sounds and like it, thought not my favorite, but I would be happy with it. Grado I have compared at audioquattr's. It was nice but then audioquattr has other carts. At Anamighty's, the Reed 5T did not impress among their other arm combos. The Glanz with a Koetsu blue sky through consolidated and phasemation SUT was by far the best. The SUTs were used for various other carts. I also get to hear the 5T with the Atlas Lambda at KJ West One in London on my visits.

I don't think Ron's masala of IO Eclipse, VTL pre, and Jadis power underpowering the ribbons is a fair way to assess the arm/cart compares (Ron only has to upload his Mehta Mahler 3, recorded in September, to show the underpowering). In his polite visit report Al said Ron was not happy with his analog.
