TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS

"  If China moves on Taiwan soon I will be concerned about owning anything from China."

CCP has already 'moved on' more of its own people than the whole population of Taiwan.  Plus 8m in Hong Kong, that used to be a nice place to live.

Grant after following your recommendation? It’s the interconnect probably it’s loose . So now I can confidently hook my beloved Tekton ps 12.

If that’s true, then excellent news!

If you have some contact cleaner/enhancer, then now might be a good time to clean your interconnects and apply some contact enhancer. Something as basic as CAIG DeOxit, or rubbing alcohol would work. I like Stabilant22; NATO approved for avionics and other electronics applications.

BTW, if you haven’t yet gone through the troubleshooting steps, I know the process looks daunting. It’s not. Just break it down step by step.

I disagree, true audiophiles are not buying them or what I think of when someone says audiophile. We have a different meaning of the word "audiophile" I guess.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So what we buy, own, make, have, or want, makes us an audiophiler?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An audiophile is a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction.

The definition goes on to give examples.

NOT one example requires a person to buy, own, make, have, or want
anything..

Your definition is based on the premise, ownership is the qualifier to be an audiophiler.

NOTHING could be more incorrect..

Basic audiophile 101. Grade = failure. Recommendation, TWO ears TWO eyes, ONE mouth.

Shut the mouth
Read the definition
Listen to others

You have to know what something is, before you make an assumption what it is NOT.

I own a Victrola, it is as much a part of MY audiophile journey as reading these forums.

My personal thought, jealousy always seeks unkind words.
