The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Synth Pioneer Bob Moog Leaves Us
By James Grahame
Groundbreaking music synthesizer designer Bob Moog passed away on Sunday at the age of 71, after a four month battle with brain cancer. His influence on musicians and instrument designers is unmeasurable, and I suspect everyone who knew him felt that he left us fifty years too soon.
In my "real" life, I own a music electronics company. I first met Bob in the mid 1990s when he was running Big Briar and I was pondering a music software startup. He and I spoke briefly, and I mentioned my plans to him. His response is etched in my memory: "It'll be hard, but do it if it's what you love."
Those words provided me the strength to found a company. Godspeed, Sir.
