Norm (Tbg),
I am not sure a person your age (mid 70s) and audio biases can tell the difference between a "giant killer" and a placebo(see below). You have already proven that by arguing a 1" tall jar of pebbles improves your system just by sitting on it. How can anyone take your advice seriously? Please feel free to spend your money on what you believe you hear but please place a disclaimer on the advice you give others. Lewm is right when he said "For goodness sakes, try to listen to it before spending your money, given that you already own one or more turntables that I would guess are as good or better." The truth is that at this point you truly can't tell the difference. I think it is known as Presbycusis - a Gradual hearing loss that occurs as you age. I suggest you stop the denials and start accepting the fact you are no longer the dictator at the head of the class. Thank God Audiogon offers a place for free thinking unlike your former classroom where questioning your opinions led to a "F".
"According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), about one in three U.S. adults between the ages of 65 and 75 have impaired hearing. The NIDCD further estimates that about half of people 75 and older have some degree of hearing loss as well."

Unoear and Lewm,
You bring up valid points! I was just busting Norm’s chops and did not intend to suggest everyone over 65 should stop enjoying hi-end audio or has a valid view point. In fact, I have several Audio friends who are in the “Norm” years that I think highly of. My comments were directed at Norm’s history of pontificating to other Audiogoners on topics that are on the audio fringe at best. His techniques to discredit opposing viewpoints come from a long teaching carrier. Norm was a Political Science Professor at Texas A&M (explains a lot). I was fortunately NOT one of his students. I am sure that I would not have lasted long in his class because I tend to ask questions.
