why no more vu meters ?

[davedotco]

I wonder if Marantz will ever bring back their oscilloscope thingy

Hi peterpiper

I hope so

and i hope they also bring back the excellent displays ray: as found on their superb AX-1000 audio computer

All the best

Rick @ Musicraft

Nah, the oscilloscope thing was seriously not very good, What you really want is this.......

 

[Al ears]

Is that an aircraft black-box detector?

 

[peterpiper]

do the vu meters affect the sound, are they in the signal path?

Because people would smoke too much in a dimly lit room and then end up staring at those VU's for hours on end. Some peoples minds went numb, jobs were lost and lives were ruined.

Imagine 7.1 setup with VU meters.

D'Agostino VU looks like the fuel meter on your steampunk death star.

I like it! Just hope the amp it's attached to doesn't sound like the old "His Master's voice" stuff:

Mr Stuart has missed a trick by not having VU meters on these:

VU meters are back. I've been waiting for years to see them again, i listen to my music with my eyes open so for me it is very important how the amplifier looks. The upcoming Yamaha AS-S2100 looks fantastic and will be priced around £1600, much less than that great looking AS-S3000 or Onkyo's power amp with massive VU.

Yes, still waiting for any WHF reviews of mentioned Yamaha products.?........:roll:

£1699 apparently for some shiny VU meters (available June)
