    Did you just say vinyls?!?
    Doc, Doc, Doc...

    On a serious note, that was an interesting read, thanks for sharing that.
    I like Hutchison's process philosophy, though not the exclusivity, i.e., price of admission.

    My friend's son just graduated and wants to get a nice 2ch setup. He's getting into records. And moving to DC. Ambitious.

    Interesting note: while recently going through my parents' stuff, I ran across what appears to be an audio recording of their wedding ceremony, preserved on vinyl.

    Nice.
    Do you have the means to transcribe it? I am guessing that you do -- and I'd opine that you should if you have the motivation & opportunity.

    Vinyl irony travails prevail.
    I prevaricate, but to no avail.
    What the hail?

    I had to learn a new word for this and look up another for context, and I still feel like I did sitting in a philosophy class one evening, thinking I was just starting to get it, but no. It was just an Amsoil seminar.

    Had to look that one up, too! Worth it.
    I'll be sure to work that into a conversation and have fun with it.

    By the way, back to the original topic - what do you suppose Hutchison is looking at with his microscope? You think he's seeing into a groove in that photo?

    The lathes I've seen all have microscopes on 'em -- I presume it is to check the quality of the groove cut into the lacquers... but, truth be told (and believe it or not), I've never thought about it before.

    I will now be just like Calvin in the last panel of the cartoon below thanks to your query, @msg! ;)

    I mean, on an LP, they call 'em microgrooves, so it stands to reason that you'd want a microscope to look at 'em, right? :)
