Arlequen,
Thank for the suggestion, the shape-wise it is exactly what I am looking for. I have seen a number of similar lights but they are LED lights. I kind of automatically discard the led lights as I though then are not as powerful and not as bright as small halogen lights. Also, a few similar led lights that I have seen gave an ugly bluish cold light that I happed do not like. I kind of like the idea to have halogen to run at full power what I need to do something with cartridge and then to run it at fraction power vial a dimmer when I juts spin records and need light juts to see where is the beginning of groves or to see the structure of the grove. Halogen light tend to be soft and have low color temperature when it runs undercooked, even though it is killed the Halogen bulbs a bit sooner.
I do not want to sound overly anal retentive but last week an idea comes to me that make me a bit horny. I have a good vision but how many times we try to lower needle in some specific location… not vision will help you as everything is small and black. So, why do not have a long gooseneck with super powerful Halogen light and combine it with a magnifying lens? How many times I was forces to use a lens and to look at the tip of needle to see that it picked some dirt. Now pretend that you have 10X magnifying lens with super bright combined in a very small and sexy looking package? That is what I would like to find! There are a number of magnifying lamps out there but they are all a bit utilitarian to my taste. I am looking it to be in black, to be small and to have some hip chick appearance. I would pay up to $200 for such a lamp.
The industry Morons, – here is the idea for you to produce. Make a good lamp. Then make your marketing department to make statements that you use the light of very specific wavelength that in a very favorite way affects sound. Make the neck of the light that handle over turntable to spray some ions that would de-dust the records. Make a laser light to the shot to the record and to makes the record flatness. Market it as “Audiophile Light”, make a price tag $1999.99 and to make someone idiot like Michael Framer to spread saliva that the Audiophile Light not only “improve Sound” but it circumstantially “works” as pregnancy prevention. I am sure your will be able to see thousands of them around the world….
