If we have well-dressed zombies, we should plasticize them and use them for furniture.
End of the World system
So here's a question. You and your loved ones are the last one's on earth. Your fully stocked with a cabin in the woods, renewable energy, and food for a life time. The roads are out, and there's no place to get gas.
The remains of a high-end store are 20 miles away. What do you bring home, assuming you have to actually carry it back?

Here's my assumptions: 1. My cabin had my current equipment and music media - albums, cds, tapes, hard-drive of music 2. There's no more stream services operating 3. I have some sort of wheeled cart. If its 20 miles I can make many many trips...no one else is left. Therefore, step one is to make sure the store has a good waterproof and dust proof structure. My priorities are music media. Then upgrading the turntable. Based on the cartridges...I'd create a nice MC turntable. After that its all gravy :) |
So I'm to assume all the talented musicians still performing music would be gone... OK, never mind the weight, but Steinway is now making a piano which can play back and/or record thousands of songs via an iPad and solenoids under the keys. You click on Horowitz or Glenn Gould, or Oscar Peterson, etc. I would buy a few great-sounding acoustic guitars, a Matchless DC-30 Amp and some PRS electrics. Along with a great guitar rack. Also a few outstanding keyboards. The sound system would have to be matched to the room I place it in. Rowland gear would be nice enough, with a musical digital front end. The turntable would have to be fairly compact and easy to set up and use- like a VPI or a Linn. I've heard and enjoyed HUGE speakers, but I would rather get something smaller that still does 20-20K, and it would have to look aesthetically appealing as well. But I would give all this up for a neighbor who could come visit and really play an instrument well and/or sing- Live. |
mrklas: I’d create a nice MC turntable. After that its all gravy :) You can copy one. You can build one. But there is only one Miller Carbon, and you’re a little late to try and create it. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 About 17 years too late to be exact. |
