As I told them, I'm just a newbie here. The leading lights of WS have been in this hobby for decades. I believe they can give better and more inputs than what I have provided so far.
Also the MOA launch might be a good venue for WS to spread its wings and get more members. EMI is asking for a volunteer exhibitor who can bring their audio set up to audition the vinyls in public. Hope you can help. Have written to Tonyboy and Jon already.
Thanks.
without Tonyboy's permission or knowledge, i'll take the liberty of suggesting that he is a perfect choice to keep the ball rolling, or the vinyl spinning. i think the best opportunity is to use the HiFi show as the platform for that all important meeting with EMI where the recording honchos can get a pretty good grasp of the market and meeting the "leading lights"
as for the volunteer exhibitor, TAS comes to mind since he has exhibited his set up in various occasions such as an art show and school program.
on a different note, i think you should get an award, Von --- for providing that spark in getting the vinyl faithful to take control of their fortunes.
