Re: R.I.P. Technics Turntables - The End of an Era
Awwwwww MAN!!!! This blows!
I figured someday once I wasn't a broke student anymore, I would buy myself a nice new SL-1200MK6. I guess I have to make my old Technics SL-D202 last me a lifetime now

Yes, I grew up with vinyl, but now Blu Ray Audio, I think that is what is called, offers a bit for bit identical copy of the studio master.Originally posted by Toasty View Post
I would love to see my favourite artists on Blu Ray video and hear a bit for bit identical copy of the master in 5.1 or 7.1.

Re: R.I.P. Technics Turntables - The End of an Era
Technics made servo-based turntables with a extremely low speed error rate.
I've read about laser-based turnables which reads the grooves in a vinyl record, which does not wear out the record at all.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: R.I.P. Technics Turntables - The End of an Era
you cant scratch or mix on a laser turntable, and they cost over $10,000 last time i saw a thing about them.
they where hand built for museums to use for archiving.Comment

This is antiquated technology... Passing grooves in a plastic disk over metal pin... I know compact disc is based on the same principle, but who needs this except for archival purposes. I keep a Hi8 camcorder stored in case someone asks me to convert their old stuff to DVD, but I'm not about to go out and mourn its demise."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Re: R.I.P. Technics Turntables - The End of an Era
It's about the experience. Buying/selling/trading, collecting, scoring at the thrift shop, visiting a kickass record store. Plus the whole experience of putting a record on is much (ahem) groovier than just plugging in an iPod.
Most of my music is mp3. But I have a small vinyl collection and I listen to it at night once or twice a week in the nighttime. It's my unwinding routine - kick off my shoes, dim the lights, start the lava lamp, and pick a record to listen to.Comment

Re: R.I.P. Technics Turntables - The End of an Era
I have to admit, I did score an SVHS deck at the thrift store a while back. I've taken a fancy to it, mostly, because I always wanted an SVHS deck back in the day. But these days it serves the purposes of giving me the time and for playing the odd VHS video and for VHS to DVD conversion, and hopefully for converting SVHS tapes if I can ever find empty ones on eBay that aren't snatched for such high prices.Originally posted by weirdlookinguy View Post"We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years.
