Omegaspeedy Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Michael and members, the 'DBT/ABX' forum hasn't been used for a long time. I'm wondering with the increase in momentum and interest of our lovely black round stuff, we could create a section dedicated to 'Vinyl' which could have useful vinyl sticky's ie Techs, good vinyl sellers, set-up calculators etc... If server room was a problem, get rid of the DBT/ABX forum and replace it with a Vinyl/Table forum I think for those with an open mind it would be VERY popular. Lets do it Michael:)
guitardude Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I'd be a go'er. Maybe we could have an alignment protractor as a sticky ? As an aside I've got a load of turntable set up stuff about, levels, electronic scales etc, speed strobes etc, which for the most part just sit in a box doing nothing. If anyone wanted a lend, I'm more than happy and I'm sure some of the other guys could have stuff that might be useful to me from time to time ? A frequency test CD would be handy, but not handy enough to buy one !!
bazza hallward Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I'm embarrased that my name is still there as the last post. And it was 1 April too! I vote dump it.
Shane Hanify Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Agreed. A vinyl section would be good. Cheers, Shane.
Guest Guest Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 You have my vote too! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the current forum layout but a dedicated Vinyl Section would be fantastic! :cool:
Electra Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I remember its been suggested to MJ before to have a subforum for digital music servers - and he was not overly receptive to the idea. However, I do think that having separate areas for Analog and Digital would be great - their two very different approaches, and if the big boss man would maybe revisit his thinking, I think it would add to the forum.
Ernie1553552694 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 They might try. I can see them falling off the end of the Earth at some point. That's if they're still convinced that the world is still flat.

T110 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Gets my thumbs up too by the way! And who said it's not flat?
Nak-Mad Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Yep, a great idea.. Stereonet in OZ did this because us TT users were cluttering up the airwaves and drowning the digi's out:p, and they were getting a bit wrinkly about it!!.. so Vinyl users were given their own sandbox.......

coleus Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Or , I floated the idea a while back about computer audio having a dedicated fora / forum , didnt go down too well , still , I own both a turntable and computer based system so either would be good , hmmm maybe both

(Troll alert:) Under ideas *plural* for the forum could be developing the search side so that 3 letter acronyms could be searched like DSD PS3 could be searched.
Guest Guest Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I think the name of the new vinyl section should be : "You Can't Roll A Joint On An MP3....."
