Hi Frank, "Hundred Monkey" - a hundred monkeys pedaling bicycles attached to a turntable platter with no cogging ;-) Actually, the "research" claims (largely discredited) that coincidental, spontaneous, quantum learning occurs in groups which separated by time and space. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth-monkey_effect. Yes, Mark is serving the greater good elsewhere at the moment. Cheers, Thom |
Hi Thom, Thanks for the link. But there is nothing paranormal about me telling colleagues like Chris Brady to try it after he introduced platters with a brass bottom section. On the other hand, Micha Huber(Thales tonearm designer) implemented such a feature on the turntable he designed for a swedish company without prior exchange: http://www.aaa-switzerland.ch/pdf/Pythagoras.pdf A very nice AND bright guy. Cheers, Frank |
