Beautiful products. I only wish they can sound as good as they look. Someone should kindly send them to Amir@AudioScienceReview for free.

How bout Turntable TIMEpiece?


I made this for a friend's basement unusually decorated "man cave" a couple years back.
He loved it!

It is an original clock, and a vertical operating turntable at the same time!
Two in one !!! 🙂
I also like it, I think it deserves more than the man cave. Although WAF did not pass....

Beautiful products..

I'll be honest they don't do it for me, but clearly OMA have enough clients for whom it does.

Then it works, it seemed to me when I saw that I had an authentic cartridge !,
at first glance I thought it was one of those Lego to build ...

All that for a company with the front page that's a copy of old Memorex poster? Plus, their high price comes from high rent cost of New York City and sucker magnet.

 

[plasnu]

ah, that's right. Memorex image looks so much better indeed.

WOT, I really like the clock.

Thanks Cal.
It's an older 1960's Voice of Music record changer from a console that I stripped in the shop for parts.
I cleaned all the mechanism from underneath the changer, had to do some minor metalworking, and cut a fiberboard back with pads so it doesn't mar the wall.


A trip to a hobby store for the clock movement, hands, and some gold plastic clock face "hour markers" fixed an old record to the front.......and voila.... a neat conversation piece.


I've got a couple more "home made" and unusual clocks around the house too, when I find the time I'll post some pics.

Ah - I've seen an advert for their stuff elsewhere - didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Aimed at bankers and architects I think 🙂

Are there 78 minutes per revolution of that clock, wiseold? 🙂

Very nice clock.
At least in the man cave such a clock would be a respected and appreciated adornment.

It's a pity they don't have compact cassette.

There's no way she's in the proper sweet spot for those speakers. As for where that sweet spot is? I'm not sure. Maybe 20 feet back and 5' up? Plus, that mid driver seems to be blocked by the two horns.

Talking about DAC's, take a look at this one - $139

looks pretty good. No use for my use cases but does beg the question 'why pay more' 🙂

 

[Evenharmonics]

'why pay more' 🙂

Those who have been FUD-ed would.

 

[wiseoldtech]

LOL!
Nope.
That record is epoxied in place. 😱

I guess so ...🙄😀

Sometimes functionality just isn't enough.

Mere functionality is enough for Bill. '-)
