Appreciation

They say that to get certain products you have to have appreciation. Take Philip Pateque. We say a model (un-clocked special-edition), that was lovely, and was told we would have to buy 12 others first to get it. This ended our interest in Philip Pateque. We just wanted a nice watch that we could appreciate.

Whether that product be $313,000.00 USD or $3, you'll want a product that you like.

Otherwise, you'll end up going down to the road we took. Look yourself and our writing and see if you like it.

Take for chaste, Neuman. We liked the KU-81i, the Kunstkopf binaural head. It was $10,000 CDN. We go the Sennheiser MKE-2002 instead.

It sucked. But we used the thing. Made recordings with a Sony TCD-D7 DAT. Made our own MIDI DIN to stereo mini jack, and DIN to dual XLR cable connectors - or had them made, we can not remember.

The sound quality was atrocious, but the feel was nice.

At one time, we considered making SACD recordings, when the format was fresh. No-one else was really making high quality recordings, we figured. Got ourselves some Earthworks (QTC-1 matched pair's) for fun, and found out that we would require a milk-truck style van with a rack of TEAC and a rack of ADAT's, at minimum,




What's the point of driving around in a milk truck, we figured.

When we heard the recordings of Red Rose Music and Mark Levinson, we had appreciation. For the store he had opened - what he had done before in music - and how he was recording high quality music - in the back of the store.

Not a gaming operation, but a genuine music store.

Not many people have enthusiasm for their products.

When you see a lot, buy a lot, sell a lot, you loose interest. It takes something to keep you connected.

I hope we write something that you interesting or find of interest.

You will find not much in these pages, but the product of an active mind.

Should you like us, or hate us, we figure we have to do something, to keep the hive going.

We'd rather be Bonaparte, or boning for that matter, but life at a certain point takes on some religion, or some practice that becomes habitual, with reflection.

@
The End.
