The strange, sad tale of the Australian cartridge designers the Garrott Brothers...vinyl fanaticism takes a bizarre, sad turn.

The strange, sad tale of the Australian cartridge designers the Garrott Brothers...vinyl fanaticism takes a bizarre, sad turn.

Rather than live in a world dominated by bad-sounding digital recordings and with interest in high-end vinyl reproduction reduced to a trickle (remember this was almost 20 years ago), the brothers and their twin wives instead committed ritual suicide in 1991 (I lie not.)

Hi Nigel
Unless there was a suicide note that included that quote, then I would say that that it is fanciful, and downright bullshit written by a deranged vinyl addict ! (aren't most of them ? )
I was fully aware of the Garrott Brothers, and even used a Parabolic stylus from them.

Hi Alex, I knew you would see that!

I think your right. The post by Halcro, fourth down in the following thread, confirms your suspicions.
