Sherwood Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 You are not trending well. I could take the time to run a full bivariate regression and give you a pleasant r^2, but with such a small n it would hardly be worth it. That's right, igorst, you have a small n, and it's not very pretty so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catscratch Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Sounds a bit like a plasma tweeter in reverse, minus the plasma or the tweeter. A friend of mine was working on a mic that was pretty similar, though the project was stalled by technology limitations at the time. This seems like it's actually feasible though.

Tachikoma Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hmm, its probably an interferometer of some sort. I guess its about time someone tried to apply it on audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I suspect it was inspired by El-P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wasn't Joseph Grado working on some fancy schmancy mic as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wasn't Joseph Grado working on some fancy schmancy mic as well? It wasn't laser, It was some sort of omnidirectional mic that was supposed to record from thousands of points or something. I'm not going to even kid, I didn't get it. A few things he was saying didn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSeibert Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I suspect it was inspired by El-P. Have you - or anybody we know - actually heard one of these? I remember thinking when it came out that it was a fascinating idea. Then I never heard another word about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Alas, no, but the review I read of it seemed so accurate that I feel I have -- basically, it said that because the virtual needle is so accurate, that it almost seems to exacerbate every single speck of dust and blemish on the record. I.E. the classic "too revealing" review -- still would like to hear one, myself, having heard really well-cleaned vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSeibert Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Interesting. Of course ten grand is lot of money for a turntable, or more specifically, more than I have for one. But not wearing out your records and not having to buy new carts every whenever make it seem more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
