Sitting on my buddy's front porch with a cup of Joe and a bowl.


Wish I didn't have to go back home today... but we'll have to go to the lake before that happens.

How cool is this. Magnetically levitated and driven platter. I want one even though I have a really fine turntable/tonearm/cartridge combo already. This hits me in the audio prostate. They're bringing it to market!

~edit~ They promised a 2017 rollout; uh-oh

~edit again~ I found a unit for sale; $2900 sigh

On the "classical engineering" front, this Kronos turntable seems to be to vinyl what the pic following is to cars.

The diff is the turntable doesn't consume $300000/annum in maintenance costs.

I used to work at a high end car dealership. Bugatti was one of our lines. One rear tire is 3500.00, mount and balance is 2500.00. If the tech fubars the rim, it's a 10k rim replacement.

35,000 1st scheduled maitinence.

Lol



And the ONLY way to unlock the 1001 hp is to put the drivers key in the special key hole on the floor/seat/door jamb area. Which instantly voids any warranty. Oh, and this car has a black box data recorder

When the car was new, a set of 4 tires was $40 grand. The 3000-mile tire-change interval was one of the big contributors to that obscene annual maintanance expense.

Now we need to generalize that tech to mag lev trains and CA is in business

it's suspect since the image is or could be false color. Trying to keep my mind going with this, and see if any more images are out there. Maybe something better.

Does catch&release educate the fish?
