If you had a time machine...

organ

the size of a pickup truck, what gear would you get when you go back in time.

I'd get:
A pair of big horn speakers
A very good record player
A whole bunch of opera/classical records
Some tube amps and pre like Dyna, Harman, Mac's
A few big boxes of pre and amp tubes like Telefunken, Mullard, GE, etc

I think all that should fit on a pickup.


What would you go for?

Western Electric compression drivers and about a 1000 replacement diaphrams.
Plenty of Marantz 8 amps and 7 preamps.
Radio Shack 40-1354 full range speakers.
Plenty of tubes.
BASF chrome cassette tapes.
Altec microphones.
And as many sealed Beatles albums as could fit.

I would head straight to a record store! I would probably buy a whole set of McIntosh gear too.

Jstas

As many shares of Microsoft stock as my money could buy.

Anybody want to approach the "then" teenage Dr. Amar Bose and tell him to study marketing instead of audio engineering:)?

If I had a time machine ..

I would have bought as many shares of Krispy Kream stocks as I could when it first went public ..

Then worry about the small **** later.

I just read the rest of the posts here ..

I think me and Jstas are on the same wave length!

I'd avoid my first wife like the plague, and seek out my current one 15 years earlier.

I agree with Jstas... i'd liquidate all my assets into gold, go back and use the gold to buy all the shares of microsoft i could get my hands on the very first week it went public :D i'd come back and be a billionare :D

Honestly, do you want that kind of business selling *anything* ?

DarqueKnight

See, that's the problem....Dr. Bose did study marketing. He certainly is much better at marketing than audio engineering.:mad:

George Grand

I'd go back to when Jenny McCarthy couldn't run so fast.

Having never met you, I can still say with complete confidence I am better looking and more charasmatic than you are, and you would still not stand a chance, even with a one day lead.
