negative. Paistes sound better to my ears.

I will give a plug to Wolfe, however. His pickups IMHO are the best on earth.

Would Purdy shotguns qualify? Not a gun guy, but I've always known about them

Best product.....

My ATO type fuse panels! But then, they are the only panel available that uses the new style fuses! Nothing like cornering the worldwide market!

"is there such a product that is undisputed as the best on earth?"

Once upon a time - PORSCHE.

In the 80's they were the standard of engineering for Germany.

Today they can't make a proper RMS. This water cooled world seems to have them stumped. I wish it were not so.

Kraft Dinner. All the other brands are too salty or too bland.

I'd sell my little used Mont Blanc fountain pen cheap. Yjat's the big black "Meisterstuck" or however it's spelled. Ink doesn't flow well, cutting off in mid sentence. I sent it back to the distributor. I got it back with a letter saying it was peachy-keen...it wasn't. Wish I'd never spent the money.

I have an old Sheaffer that works really well. Fortget the snow capped mountain cap. Buy a pen with the white dot!

These days I carry a Fisher "space pen"...function over status.

WD-40, and duct-tape.



Keep either one of those in your tool box and nothing will ever go wrong.
