They were prolific in their inventions and their ideas of marketing their inventions and products is evident today as it was then. Their integrated ideas is what we in this millennium are now experiencing. Technology today is gaining rapid pace more than any time in the past millennium. Lessons can be learnt from Thomas Edison commerce ventures into other lands outside of his own country. Today's individual are no longer a specialist in a particular field nor is he a jack of all trades and master of none. The 21st Century has brought a surge in integrated thinking and industries on the whole are seeking individuals who can execute a number of applications and be master of them all. Edison was a master of applied science in the field he chose to act upon, his one problem was; he did not really like the structures of mathematics set up. But, he cleverly employed mathematicians in his laboratory. On this site we recognise and acknowledge the efforts of Faraday, Edison, Berliner and De Forest, their discoveries and inventions in relation to the History of Vinyl, although there were several other inventors and scientists that played a part in other fields of discovery that was just as important, but as regards to the advent of the phonograph records Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday, Emil Berliner and Lee De Forest took the route towards entertainment in discovering the phonograph, the magnetic coil, the flat disc, the gramophone and the Valve Amplifier that has now been replaced by transistors. Valve amplifiers may be out of date but for better sound quality a valve amplifier is far superior. Where as a transistorized amplifier will need 80 watts or more per channel output for quality sound, a valve amps will only need half that amount and still gives a better sound output for your vinyl records. |
