  Of course all I do with regard to Pure Sound Wire is done with Juan Mas-Cabre's consent and support. As the Pure Sound distributor for North America, it only makes sense. Juan and I depend on each other. 

  The idea of the "kits" is a brilliant one to make it easy for first-time users to try the wire and have a successful result. While technicians are more than welcome to simply purchase various gauges and go for it, the "kits" are kind of an easy introduction to this wire.

    Hi Jim,
    I agree with Ed. And understand Juan's position as well. Jurgen is selling "kits" of wire plus scales for Steinway M, L and B. Does this have Juan's consent? I think, very strongly, that it ought to. That is precisely the best way to promote use of the wire: make it easy the first time. There's a hassle factor to trying something new, in this case a pretty big one. You have to make a fairly large investment in material. You have to do what is necessary to come up with scaling, which means a lot of measuring and writing down, plus contacting someone or purchasing software or whatever. And you are going to have to learn new techniques for working with a different material. All this on a bit of a bet: some people say it's worthwhile. Is it? If not, you've wasted a good bit of time, money, and irritation.
    I really like what Jurgen is offering: scale plus enough wire to do a job plus a bit extra. Much less of an investment in time and hassle. If it is as good as people (like Jim Busby <G>) are saying, then you go the extra mile. If not, you're only out a fairly minor investment.
