RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet


I'm not sure what happened to the original thread started a few weeks ago but I'd like to set this up for an analog report on our experiences with analog related products at RMAF.

I also received an e-mail from Larry Howkins (Cello) today stating that there will be a meet and greet this year.

Meet and greet details:
Get together Saturday night @ 6 PM - Garcia's Restaurant. For you drinkers, Larry has worked out draft Beer and mix drinks at half price.

Looking forward to seeing you RMAF 2009 attendees at the get together.

You are free to post you attendance plans now and your analog experiences after the show.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the show,
Dre

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:

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.
