A friend photographed a broken down but open ancient food stand down South. It wasn't until he printed, mounted and displayed the print that someone noticed the sign, the largest part, three foot letters, had been saying for forty or more years, "HAMBUGERS."

"Eldorad," at night, actually....

Nope! The last of the clubs I describe here in NY was Soundfactory, then Twilo! Its about the bottom end with earth moving feeling. The full range is supposed to be clear, but not painful, and the highs crisp, yet not irritating. You could actually talk in these clubs, as well as the Paradise garage, the grandaddy of the famous NY scene.
They dont know HOW to do it, it isnt that they want the patrons to be drowned out.
FWIW, people stay in a venue that really sounds right, longer than they stay in a venue that is irritating and fatiguing. Just like youll find yourself listening to music longer on the right speakers than the wrong speakers.
They got louder, because they dont know how to be better!

My " Joint " is not a broken down place!
I keep a well maintained establishment. I personally put alot of man hours ito keeping things in shape.

Whoa, Scotty! I didn't mean to reflect on your attraction. I was just trying to describe an old photograph I don't possess to post an image of. I think the photo of your place looks awesome. I like that image so much I want to download it and make it my next desktop wallpaper, if that's OK with you.

He didn't say, and I can't see that he implied that your place is broken down. He was just playing off Zilch's observation that the "o" on your sign is out, and it led him to tell a story about a completely different place.
We think your place is great, and it's on my "to do" list next time I'm in NYC.
Out.
Serves me right for going so off topic here, and it is not even my worse offense today! Says Yoda: "Mmmm, pathetic Clark is."
Thanks, Dome.

OK Ok, I see what you are talking about!
The sign has a scintillator, and a speller, and a border chaser.
What you are seeing is NOT the O in the word Eldorado actually out, the speller lights each letter individiually, spelling out the name E L D O R A D O! After all the letters are lit, it then flashes the name three times, and then repeats the cycle all over again! Whoever took that photograph caught the sign before the speller completed the word ELDORADO.
LOL!

Its cool, the more that know, the better!
Im sorry for being defensive, I really just take that much pride in the place. Family owned and operated for three generations. Gotta mean something!

That is just too funny.OK Ok, I see what you are talking about!

Zilch, you are such a troublemaker...
Out.
I have to ask Widget how to move the Eldorado posts into its own separate thread. I didnt mean to rain on Don`s Tokyo trip.

I have moved all the Eldorado posts into its own thread, I mispelled the title, meant to say " MY Eldorado, My Life ".
I felt cleaning up Dons thread was the right thing to do, as I was and am getting WAY off topic, and Dons Tokyo trip deserves repsect from us. After all, it is in the interest of sharing the premium efforts that JBL has strived to produce, so, now, the Tokyo trip thread is clean, again!

I couldn't put together bumper cars and a quality sound system until I searched the internet a little. What a great idea to have bumper cars in a disco enviroment (lights and sound). That sounds like fun. I'll mention the Eldorado to everyone I know heading to New York and Coney Island.
did Keith Haring do your signs? looks like his work, the dancing people at least....
So when do we get some pics of the sound system, Scott??? We've been waiting years!!!
John
No, it was a copycat work. It was kind of cool then we had new signage painted. Next year, Im having em redone again.
I guess now I have a thread that "I" must complete with pics of the inside.
I will, and I want to post em when I have Widgets cabinets in here, as well as the J Horns that they are replacing.
Trust me, the audio shops had nothing to make me feel insecure or envious about!
I do love doing what I do!
