RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet
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 |
Thanks Frank, Actually, I suspected that the real reason for the common thinking was even more direct - that since Mark Kelly hangs out on John Atwood's Clarsonus Blog, that a dialog ensued between the two of them at some point in time. The hundredth monkey thing was a bit of American humor ... twisted though we might be on this side of the Pond ;-) Sorry that it was obtuse to you. Sometimes, we forget the cross-cultural thing ... Cheers, Thom @ Galibierr |
Well it's been 9 months since 2009 RMAF, I haven't acquired the "Young Dajango" LP yet. However, I have recently acquired Stephane Grappelli's "Homage To Dajango" double LP. Hot darn, I like it! I'm beginning to start looking forward to this yearÂ’s show. It should be a blast as it has been the past three years for me. There may even be a few more big named analog designers making an appearance this year. I hope so as it increases awareness of this wonderful past and present time experience with vinyl. Dre |
