Print media anamoly ?

[Daniel Quinn]

It may not be Thursday , but its question time . :scratch:

Hifi world as a world classics section. This magazine is liked at AOS , 4/5 globe reviews are often trumpeted and indeed new editor or not , their best contributor is a member .

So why no techy dj deck in the world classics ? Is it

A] the deck is a pile of shit unless modified ?
B] a criminal unexplainable oversight , that overplays the virtues of the sp10 through ignorance and prejudice and fails to appreciate this seminal deck .

p.s .As theirs no PT anni on the list , i'm strongly attracted to answer b . ;)

[Stratmangler]

What's an anamoly?


As to the rest of the post - you're shit stirring.
Grow up :rolleyes:

[Daniel Quinn]

as for the rest , tomato , tomato , freedom fighter , terrorist ,shit stirrer , truth searcher .

The correct answer is of course c) Roksan Xerxes.

As with all these magazines, their list of greats (or in Stereophile's case, class A/B/C components) is always very personally driven and reflects nothing more than the combined likes of the current staff. Take with a huge pinch of salt and don't get the hump if your personal favourite doesn't appear.

[Daniel Quinn]

Stratmangler it must be a comfort to you that your not bi-polar . your mind was made up at 21.06 and at 21.45 you still think the same , unless you needed an independent written record, your second post was superfluous.

[tommy6206]

Or could it be that the original 1210 was not meant to be a DJ deck or aimed at that market

[DaveK]

Oi!! Watchit thee - ah got one o' dem ;) .

But yours is mod'd, according to your signature.

I concur with your assessment.
My second post was indeed superfluous, and I am not bipolar.
I do not need an independent written record either.

My only defence is that your first post was needlessly antagonistic.

As you've posted in the vinyl section can I correctly assume that you still use a record player of some sort?

[Marco]

Ah, thank goodness I can rely on you, Martin, to bring some sanity to proceedings!

Dennis, what is this, 'let's take the pish out the Techy' day?

Chris is right. Come on, I think you need to up your game, mate, or you're just being a nuisance now!

"So here I am : an annoying argumentative arsehole with a fondness for “Amisesque” triple illiteration, My aim is offer an alternative perspective to the hegemony and puncture pomposity , it is after all Hifi not the collective struggle for emancipation"

said it as I joined and i prefer thought provoking not piss taking.;)

[Marco]

So you don't mind then if I delete any of your threads which I consider are just inane drivel? When the discussions you start have been upgraded to "thought provoking", I'll reassess the matter! ;)

Marco.

"So here I am : an annoying argumentative arsehole"

I concur :)

So why not be thought provoking instead of antagonistic?

You still haven't told us of your TT of choice.

[Mike]

is this, 'let's take the pish out the Techy' day?

Yeah!... why not? :eyebrows:

Damn things.... :lol:

you can indeed the clue was in the post , its a wow a flutter , pitch unstable PT anni.

We all have our crosses to bear :eyebrows:

[Marco]

That I can handle, but not when I feel there's another agenda behind it ;)

Me thinks that this thread will shortly be going 'ta-ta'...

Marco.

Marco.

Please feel free to delete any that You consider aint thought provoking, if your comfortable with such dictatorial actions :(

[synsei]

I should really keep out of this considering I replaced a gorgeous, modified Thorens TD160 mkII/SME Series III with an unmodified (except for a set of VA feet) SL1210/SME Series III which absolutely smoked the Thorens... :eyebrows:

[Marco]

Dennis, it's got nothing to do with being dictatorial, and everything to do with, short of just having a giggle, I can't see a constructive point to this thread.

All it smacks of is you having a rather thinly disguised dig at Techy owners, because you own a 'low mass' belt-drive T/T, and have read negative comments here from some of us who dislike those types of T/Ts. If that's about the sum total of it, then I can't see why this thread shouldn't escape the bin, as I'm simply unwilling to have the forum littered with that type of nonsense.

You were invited here from RD's site to prove that you weren't a nuisance, and at the beginning you were doing a good job and making some witty remarks and interesting observations. Sadly, over the last few days, things have gone sharply downhill.

Therefore, if you wish to remain here, you'll have to up your game and prove that your presence on AoS is to add something positive to our community, not simply to use the forum as a vehicle for your amusement.

Unfortunately, at the moment, you're behaving like little more than a troll.

Marco.

Yes but, if it really was a pile of shit to start with, you know what they say, "You can't polish a turd." :lol: .

I used to own a 1210. Not bad as standard with the right mat. ;)

[synsei]

I could be talking about that very deck... :lol:

[Dingdong]

Getting back to the op. I think quite a few of the mag journos are members of quite a few forums.

Did anyone take a peek at this?

Or this?

[Stratmangler]

Oh look!
It says this


Technics SL-1200 LTD £1000 Apr 97 Looks expensive at £1000, but don't let that put you off the capable standard version.

The OP missed that bit ;)

[Dingdong]

The OP missed that bit ;)

I guess he could be let of 'cos he mentioned print media. Maybe he doesn't have internet access.;)

Just to cheer him up a bit it does have this.

PT Anniversary £2390 Oct 96 With its battery supply and ultra-quiet DC motor, the Pink displays great accuracy and neutrality. A top-flight deck.

What a fucking pointless waste of 2 1/2 minutes reading this thread was ...

It's Daniel Quinn's fault for starting such a rubbish thread.
Apologies for the waste of life factor :ner:

It's my fault for persevering Chris ...
One should always take responsibilty for ones actions ... Or some shit like that ...
I don't even know what I hoped to find ... All I did find was that the op hadn't actually done his homework ... Somthing if I had thought about it inwould have known anyway as I distinctly remember seeing the 1210 in such a section of a mag along side my turntable ...
