| Not a question, but a comment. @dweller Yes, that outboard timer/switch on the original Betamax was not consumer friendly.. And, with 1-hour record time you had to decide if you wanted to record the first half, second half or middle half of the game. It was much easier back th... | |
| New user phono question. Comes with free story. Stylii get old and tired. A new cartridge should liven things up. Very good recommendations by others on this forum. | |
| The greatest tweak ever? You can always return it if you don't like it. Might have to be a little "creative" in the language used for the justification for the return: "The celllos in my system are little thin. This device didn't help" may not be the best approach. | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? It's difficult to impossible to support an emotional argument with a pragmatic approach. "Vintage" to some is "old" to others. While "old" is factually correct, it falls short in defining all the elements of our attachment to "vintage" gear. Ow... | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? @2psyop I don’t see a problem here. You just need to use the 1:1 spending method with your wife. For each dollar you spend on "irrational" purchases for you, you graciously allow her to "invest" the same amount in "irrational" purchases for her. J... | |

| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair This also brings up the classic "Chicken and Egg" question. Did the industrial designers develop a piece of art, present it to the engineers and say: "Here, make it play music"? Or, did the engineers develop their idea of the "ultimate B&O sp... | |
| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair @roxy54 i’ve always respected B&Os ability to produce works of art that play music. When we were a B&O dealer way back when, we unapologetically made the customer aware that a good potion of their investment was in the esthetics of the pr... | |
| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair @jon_5912Mr. Bernays’ bio is quite interesting. The comments under the “Philosophy” heading have present day implications. | |
| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair I believe the motif is called Danish Modern. Being neither Danish nor modern I am under qualified to comment their esthetics. But, B&O has designed some of the most beautiful pieces ever created to play music. I have a couple of non-functio... | |
| MoFi controversy @clearthink I agree that my comments were a bit heavy-handed. Probably about 6db too loud. I'm just a believer in authenticity. Mofi is right on the edge of not respecting the wants and needs of its customers. | |
| MoFi controversy @atmasphere Thank you for the post. I learned something today. @sns I agree with you related to Mofi's "questionable" marketing where the expectation is established that their customers are going to incorrectly "connect the dots" and assume thei... | |
| MoFi controversy Anyone who has watched early James Bond movies knows that master tapes can be digital. MOfi’s statement: “utilizing original master tapes” would not be misleading if those master rapes are digital. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . @last_lemming Related to my last entry. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . @last_lemming I like this post. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers here. I can certainly appreciate your affinity to your Loki Max. Tailoring the sound to your liking, effortlessly, and on demand checks a lot of boxes in the plus column. K... |
