    Default Hot new audio foo?

    “Would anyone be interested in my DVD- and Blu-Ray rewinder? The bit domains in a disc eventually become skewed by being spun in only one direction during playback, which increases the amount of error correction alarmingly. My rewinder spins the disc backwards, but only after applying a gradual, and acceleration-limited ramp up to approximately 60,000 rpm. After only 12 days, your disc is completely re-aligned and ready to be played once more. The 20 HP rewind motor and associated gearing are no louder than a weed whacker, and more than adequate cooling is afforded by connecting a garden hose to the heat exchanger port. The entire unit is smaller than a Bridgeport milling machine. Plus, there's no special power requirement: the rewinder runs on 480v triple phase, found everywhere. Rewinding after every use is recommended, and for best results, the disc axis of rotation must be kept pointing at Polaris using the optional equatorial rewinder mount, that is shipped in its own 8 foot, road-ready trailer.”

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Limited market potential as it apparently does not do CD format. Extend it to CDs and I'm in.

    Is there an early bird discount?

    I had one of these and found that a power feed direct from the power station reduced the time required to 10 days. Sea water also helped with the cooling rate.

    I'm in but only if there is a matching disc elevator. It's like a cable elevator but for storing your discs off ground level.
