pastime

There are pastimes, and then there are concerted efforts to post a viable critique.

Generally, the 'pastime' thing takes about sixty seconds for what seems a witty idea and maybe a google image search--- before posting a reply.

My post took a few days of consideration and maybe 30 minutes to write up. It's a bit of original thought on two current 'rim' designs that should, if nothing else, be a part of the raison of Vinyl Asylum.

To condense it again, since nobody seems inclined to want to get it, goes like this :

With stunning examples of the science and art of rim drive from years back to contemplate (emt 927).... Two of our current designers appear to have chosen the low road and tacked-together some impromptu, feeble rimdrive efforts.
This looks, in an audio world very accustomed to shambolic trend-diving price foolery ... like another excercise in consumer baiting gimickry.

As an idler/rim enthusiast who has the even the vaguest notion of what might be possible today.... I think it's worth pointing out the Extreme Underwhelming quality of their 'efforts', both of which comprise nothing approaching the precision mechanisms of the past.

Don't think I can be too much clearer.
