Agreed! My own enthusiasm comes from the fact that for many years during the 90s, it seemed difficult to find the perfect cube. I had a few cubes from 1981-82, but for collector's purposes I didn't want to continue beating them up. Yet the new ones (OzzdOn) had terrible stickers. Meffert's assembly cubes were good from an aesthetic standpoint, but not for speedcubing.
Now it seems that we are in a golden age of cubing, where we not only have access to various excellent cubes (anniversary, DIY, white DIY, studio, Eastsheen) but also cheap access to the technology to improve and customize them even further (CubeSmith, silicone oil, etc.) And I agree that the new cubes have probably contributed significantly to the ability for top cubers to achieve the (formerly) unimaginably fast solve times. Still, the quest for the perfect cube continues. And of course, many of us still dream of an electronic cube, with LED or LCD panels for stickers, built-in timer, recognition of solved state, instant randomize, etc. Chris --- In [email protected], "Gilles Roux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I often read enthusiastic posts about cube X or cube Y. > But: > 1) Quality is not a constant. > 2) It depends on personal preference or dexterity (mood...)
