audiofeline Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 Hmm, I'm not very excited by their choices. The design is very ordinary as well. Would have liked the Orpheus turntable to be in there, I'm sure that suggestions can be made of other worthy Australian hifi that could have been chosen. 1
PicoWattson Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 These are mainstream music makers that would have graced thousands of Australian homes, not top shelf sound reproducers found in only a few. My first EPs were played on that exact same Kriesler in my school mates parents house. If you want to see an Orpheus on a stamp we need more audiophiles running the top jobs of Australia Post. 2

"Why" is just a lonely word..."Why" is so solitary..."Why" is totally friendless..."Why" is genderless... "Why" on its own is senseless..."Why" is totally ignored..."Why" is an arrow seeking a target..."Why" is the fishing hook seeking prey..."Why" is the dancing floor looking for dancers..."Why" is the empty biro looking for ink..."Why" is the vinyl looking for play..."Why" is the stamp looking for post... ...(She asked him why Why I'm a hairy guy I'm hairy noon and nighty-night night My hair is a fright)... "Why" on its solitary own is deserving of its own stamp! A string of stamps... A solitary "Why" ought to be stamped on from toe to heel and heel to toe and then back again... Stamped on by an Irish dancer, By a vigorous Michael until the "Why" is Flately...Stamped on by Fred Astaire until the "Why" has no grace or air......Stamped on by Savion Glover until the "Why" is unsuitable for the Postal Services First Day Cover... "Why" pushes the envelope for the slowest of boring deliveries...no stamp of approval from me... 2
