Then play the first thirty seconds of Changing Man by Paul Weller. I wonder if Jeff Lynne sued? Jeff Lynne is a supreme ripoff artist himself, so is fair game.

Nor-Cal Villan Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Went to this amazing exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco a few weeks back. Featured tons of visual stuff- posters, handbills, flyers, album covers- and a spectacular collection of artful playback devices, starting with Edison and going up to right now. Our favorite part of the whole thing was this: The sound quality was truly spectacular We could have sat there all day but alas had to eventually move on, as we had places to be. While we were there they only played classical and jazz. Would love to have heard some rock but not complaining one bit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 if you’re interested in people experimenting with making their own hifi equipment, there’s a meet up in the holiday Inn, Barnsley, the last weekend of October. Lots of people with bedrooms dedicated to showing off what they’ve built. I’m on a forum for the original Swiss Lenco, and they have a room available for LH members to set up their kit and play. Very informal, sort of hifi equipment version of run what ya brung at drag race meetings. With the whole hotel booked out, there’s no issues around volume or soundproofing. But I appreciate Chico to Barnsley in October could be a leap of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) I went to 'In Search of Repetitive Beats' at Birmingham Art Gallery/Museum last week. It was an hour long, VR experience, about the 1989 acid house scene. I was too young to remember it myself, but I've followed it every since and always found it interesting. It was incredible - and I mean INCREDIBLE. The documentary/story itself was superb, but the whole VR side of it too was so well done. I can't stop thinking about it Honestly, it goes on tour soon, if you've half an interest in that kind of scene, get yourself down there, worth every single penny. Mind blowing. It was so immersive, I keep finding hot rock burns on the seat of my Pug 205 and I've had a runny nose every since Edited September 1 by T-Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
