Hmm, TT as performance art? Looked for videos, but maybe just a "design concept" so far

I have so many questions. First of all: where's the fucking tonearm :p

I've seen this several times: someone comes up with a funny concept and concentrates on it, but completely forgets the basic requirements for it all to work. Lol
 
Maybe just the very beginning of us hating AI and CGI even more. Just f&&&ing annoying.

Just beat me to it.

Then there is all the vibration from those moving tiles being transmitted to the pickup.

Can't have a pickup pick up anything if it's not there.

...that must be it! That's why there's no tonearm and no pickup! Oh I feel stupid now, it's so obvious. :facepalm:
 
I mean... one may do this oneself... more or less... sort of.

PS Only the really cool turntables have umlauts in their names.
:cool:

PPS Is it weird that the word umlaut contains identically zero letters with umlauts? Maybe it's just me...
:facepalm:
 
There's no end to the silliness that goes on in the vinyl revival. :facepalm:
 
Umlaut not having an Umlaut is a typically German weird joke that you just don't get. :p
Gewiss! ein Antiwitz...

:cool:

Trains are faster at night than on tracks... you know, at night, when it's colder than outside.
 
Perhaps you can tell from my own attempts at humor that 1) I minored in German and 2) I am a member of not one but two German honor fraternities (from my misspent youth). :p
Oh, and 3) I am at least 25 percent Deutsch.
I - ahem - will add in closing that I exhibit that legendary German level of patience with idiots virtually all other people, too. ;)

To be fair there's no end of silliness in all corners of the audio world.
 
... those would be fun groups, no doubt! :)
The irony of all of this is that I have, to date, managed to spend all of 48 hours in Germany. We had a joint venture of sorts with Boehringer Mannheim (a company that made and sold a wide variety of very specialized biochemicals, proteins, and enzymes to the life science research industry). I visited their facility in Tutzing and gave a talk there. It was not too long after the fall of the Berlin wall and, even way down south, the mood was pretty jubilant everywhere.

... but I, not uncharacteristically, digress. :rolleyes:
