Comments: Thank you for going to the trouble of producing such a fascinating site found via the Tannoy/Yahoo forum. It has stirred many happy memories for an old man priviledged to have lived through the Golden Age of British HiFi and currently listens to GRF Tannoys!

So much has changed. It's wonderful that you are preserving such an interesting past. All good wishes and success.

PS Is it Harry James' band?

Comments: Hi,

It's a beautifully done website but is the timeline citing sound film by Lee Deforest in 1896 correct? I know that Eugene Lauste was experimenting with optical tracks by modulating acetylene gas beginning circa 1906 AFTER he left Edison. Perhaps he'd been doing it before he joined Edison. But Deforest I think, wasn't involved with his "Phonofilm" until AFTER Tri-Ergon in Germany announced their system, circ a 1919

Comments: Unbelievable site !! I was beginning to think I was the only one interested in vintage PA. My grandfather started setting up PA in the early 30's, and over the years my father & I joined as well. Outstanding job on the site - I can't wait to show it to the wife, so that she will no longer think my basement display is the mark of a looney.

Regards
