Certainly worth more than the current bid , but his claim that they would cost 3k today is a little off the mark . Made in 1973 by all accounts , they would have to have cost £280ish to be worth 3k today [ assuming a simple inflation increase calculation ] You could buy a garrard 401 for £26 quid and a house for 10k in 1973 so i doubt they cost £280 .

Seems to me that multiple small drivers covering large areas of the frequency spectrum no matter how well matched will introduce phase/integration issues .
I had a pair of mission 753 did not like them .

Never heared it , but it does have a good reputation . My one issue with it , it that the stylus costs 90% of the price of the thing and therefore I do not understand why they do make it a fixed cantilever.

Having read wikipedia it would seem there is no definitive definition. I personally would draw that line at sounds synthesised by chips or code. Peter gabriel 4 is an awesome album crying out for more real instruments.

Larger fonts are a political issue. A spokesman for the sensible party said earlier today whilst consuming a pint of pale ale in a picturesque pub . Rules is rules whether it's larger fonts annoying our members or illegitimate polls .rules apply to everyone not just the singular person. I hark back to a pre 1950 sensibility.

Is a mellotron an instrument ? Indeed is a electronic synthesiser an instrument ?

Not so, if singularities views represent the majority of active members then I more than willing to bugger off and leave the friendly forum to its own devices , if not , those who cannot tolerate me can just ignore me and give up on sarcasm , snide comments and ad hominen .
it is democracy in action .

disrupt dɪsˈrʌpt/Submit verb interrupt (an event, activity, or process) by causing a disturbance or problem.
I deny your adjective pre , i consider my interjections to be positive . I carefully choose which posts to take issue with and all the threads I do are better for it .
Singularity you talk no sense in that post , i suggested you keep your cod-pyschology to yourself , you dont see me attempting to unravel the dark motivations of your stance toward me do you ? You do have a good idea , lets turn the forum in to a popularity contest . we can have a table and vote for weekly evictions . That must surely be the way to go on the friendly forum .

I dont expect you to accept my approach , i do expect you not to give me your cod psychology as to my motivations , I will say this for tonyc at least he as the intelligence to understand my motives before he calls me an arse .

Accepting the friendly nature of this forum, there seem to be an awful lot of fascist determined to tell people what they can and cannot post . Subject to rules , a forum is a free and open space and a person can post what they like , if you are not interested then dont read it . Additionally I am willing to wager my posts see an increase in traffic than any other person on the forum . Pre comedy needs an element of truth otherwise it just aint funny , a quick glance shows that you have quoted my posts more than any other person , though it is close . Of 840 posts I have made 470 have been quoted and responded to and you have done it no less than 80 times. That an awful lot of uninteresting posts you have responded to

"I don't understand why you might think that we're not in a position to assess the truth of an opinion without first expressing that opinion in language, or communicating it to an interlocutor - plausibly we do this all the time; again, I can assess the truth of my opinion that it's currently raining by simply looking out the window - no need vocalise anything. In general, thinkers will be perfectly well placed to confirm or dis-confirm vast swathes of their own opinions for themselves - I can't see any absurdity in this."
because truth is context dependent - [ reliance on the fact of raining is obfuscation }
lets assume you think to be topical [ cake judgement ] that it is the truth that - "homosexuals are abhorrent and should be killed" You can think this all you like without expressing it .
if you communicate your thought and concretise it as an opinion out thier in the real world , you will be charged with hate crime , if you particularize your opinion to a person you will be sued for defamation *.
Additonally , if you dont communicate your thought , but you once again concretise it in the real world by say refusing to make a gay marriage cake , your opinion will see you in trouble with the law .
it is therefore necessary to distinguish between thoughts and opinions and not collapse them to mean the same thing .
* As an aside , this is why i think we are not in a postion to access the truth of our own thoughts . personal truth is no truth at all , truth is context dependant .
