<P class=MsoPlainText>Wow! What a great response from the “Puck” group! <SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d">Thank you!</SPAN> As I told the “Heath” group, I
appreciate every comment. As a couple of you commented, it will be
interesting to see if there is clear cut choice.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I hope more folks check in with their views and
rationale. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I will summarize all this but since I have some rather
pressing matters to take care of in the next several days, it will likely have
to wait until next week.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>To assist with the compilation, it would help me greatly
if you would come back to me one more time using this scheme to record your
opinion/preference**:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Give me a "1" if you strongly prefer/recommend the
SB-101 over the SB-303; "2" if you slightly prefer the SB-101 over the
SB-303; "3" if you would be equally happy with either; "4" if you slightly
prefer the SB-303 over the SB-301; "5" if you strongly prefer the SB-303 over
the SB-301. Also, let's also simplify the main reasons for your
preference. Please use these descriptions: Stability; Selectivity;
Sensitivity; Ease of repair; Reliability (as in needing only infrequent under
the hood repair); Energy consumption (hot vs.not); Concern over parts
availability and/or cost; strong signal handling (intermod performance);
Prefer Tube equipment, Prefer solid state equipment. Whew! <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>One of the more creative recommendations was: "If you
can find a SB-403, keep the SB-303"! :-)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>**Some of you do not need to come back again as you made
it real easy for me to put your preference on the scale and stated your
rationale clearly.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Again, thanks for taking part in this opinion
poll. In the end it will help me and I'm sure many others who are on the
fence. <o:p></o:p></P>
