Paris' Extraordinary Gramaphone Museum Is Under Threat

Japanese Audiophile Takes Power Conditioning To A New Level

The Paris Gramaphone Museum contains an unprecedented display of over 250 phonographs,gramaphones,jukeboxes,and turntables charting the technological advances that defined the recording industry.Among it's array of horns abd platters are the first tinfoil phonographs from 1878,Thomas Edison's Talking Doll invented 2 years later,and the first machine to ever play a recorded disc created in 1890.

The sad thing is that the Museum has had to launch a Crowd Funding Campaign in an attempt to keep the Museum open.Failing to receive financial support from the City of Paris,the Museum is struggling to pay rent debts with it's landlords.Despite the support and work of volunteers,the Museum cannot survive on the efforts of volunteers alone.As you can see in the video the people who have experienced this Museum are touched by it.....the history of music reproduction is a quintessential part of human history and needs to be honoured and maintained.
