The picture that got me to buy my first empeg - 07/11/2002 20:48

I just thought I would post this. I was looking at an old stereo mag. when I saw this pic.
When I saw this pic I went on the net to find one and found that they were no loger being made (at the time it was an old mag.) so I went directly to ebay if it was not fotr this pic I wouldnt have know of the empeg

When the BBS tells you the picture can't be bigger than 200,000 bytes, it really means it.

Here's hoping the next rev of the software will handle that more gracefully.

anyone see how inaccurate the article is?

"support whatever [copy-protection scheme] comes out,"

wow... that was way out of context. shouldn't it be [codecs] or [music format]?

And is Hugh = Hugo... or is both acceptible mebbe.

Yea, it seems that when ever the empeg was discussed on tv or in a mag. the info was always out of date and not all true, like whats with the "storage capacity of up to 28 gigs". But that article is still the reason that I have two empegs today, otherwise I wouldnt have known about it.

Very cool to see an early Empeg ad like that. Neato.

I'm one of the many people who first found out about the empeg on this page.

In a glass cabinet in the office, along with Mk1 serial number #00001 which we swapped a Mk2 player for so we could get it back in house!

It's in a glass display cabinet at Empeg Towers, along with other exciting prototypes and various awards. It still works.
