Bananas.

[jusbe]

Anyone here using a 'banana' tonearm, such as the EMT or the Audio Creative?

[Oldpinkman]

It's no longer legal to use one due to an EU directive that all bananas must be in bunches of at least 3

But that's going to change.

Can't see much difference between a continuously curved arm (i.e. 'banana') and a cranked arm (i.e. J-shaped). Maybe the resonance spectrum is more benign with a banana-shaped arm. I don't know. :scratch:

The EU wanted all bananas to be grown straight somehow, so maybe you need a straight 'banana' tonearm ;)

Cucumbers I believe that was.

There was a curvature restriction for some stupid bloody reason.

Hey! according to rants from the Media Babbling Class (that I inadvertently tripped over) :
Only poorly educated older white folk voted for the exit.

One can't even begin to make this stuff up.

:doh: :lol: :cool:

I've ordered one from Audio Creative. Not sure if it will come curved. Or start curved and straighten over time. Or maybe come straight and bend as soon as Article 50 is invoked...

Except it's true, and it's not frothy media, Lord Ashcroft himself posted these stats:

The older the voters, the more likely they were to have voted to leave the EU. Nearly three quarters (73%) of 18 to 24 year-olds voted to remain, falling to under two thirds (62%) among 35-44s. A majority of those aged over 45 voted to leave, rising to 60% of those aged 65 or over. Most people with children aged ten or under voted to remain; most of those with children aged 11 or older voted to leave.

Boomers stole my pension and now they've stolen my child's future too, most won't even be alive long enough to see the spanner they've thrown properly break the machine.
