Thanks for post, SOB. In the end it is the price - the Cougar isn't 270$, it is couple of hundred $ more.

Well I think I am in the same boat as Doberman. I have had my Cougar for close to a year now with no 'pot' issues that I can speak of. Also I still have roughly the same amount of play around the center as I did when I took it out of the box. I measured it then and just did the same tonight. Both measurements are just over a millimeter on both the X and Y axis.

So Hristo I can't tell you to buy one or the other but having used TM and CH at various times I will say this; Since you have trouble with the TM pot issue then go with CH. I don't think you will be as happy but its your money and you asked for an opinion. I hope you get something that works nicely for you and Good Luck with your search.

Funny you should mention it

,
but weird that you seem* to mess it up

:
$270 is the Cougar's price at Amazon - including IL-2

...

(* I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

-
or could it be that you're not really interested in providing facts
if they don't suit your interests

?)

270 $ for starter package

.

Several hundred $ more for mods to make it work like advertised.

Anyway, the decision has been made. I'll give it a chance. The Cougar, that is. Thank God I ain't married yet

I just find it amusing, all this brand loyalty to a noodle shaped product for which the major selling points (once you get past all the hype) are size, weight, and stiffness. What would Freud say?

He would say that observations often say more about the observer then the observed.

ARE YOU CALLING ME A MEATGAZER?????????????????

Mini D · « **Reply #54 on:** February 25, 2003, 04:16:41 PM »

Calling someone from SF a meatgazer? Why bother?

SOB · « **Reply #55 on:** February 25, 2003, 06:25:34 PM »

No, I'm calling you dense. I've been calling you a fargin' meat gazer for most of this thread, but you only now figured it out!

The programmability of the TM products hooked me long ago and I use a Cougar today. That said, they aren't for everyone. There are some quirks. I had to open mine up, make a couple adjustments that involved a file. I also replaced the pots with expensive hall effect sensors. I'm now happy with it and will have a very hard time adapting to anything else when it finally dies.

LOL, ain't that the truth. The best recommendation I can give to ya.... Hook up with the fellow on Cougar World from Australia who does the brass bushings for the guts of the Cougar. Makes it feel fantastic.
