Tube surround

Thanks to the Stereophile site, I found this:

I like how the mirror seems to double the number of tubes.

It's yet another bad joke on tube bigots. It's just obsolete bad old DPL,
and its SS DPL with a veneer of tubes wrapped around it.

Barnum would have approved.

Yawn.

With the limited production, one assumes utility isn't the primary
selling point.

For the best of both worlds, hook it up to ARC's Type-T multichannel
amp, also announced on Stereophile.

Seems like the expected programmed screetch from you showed up right on
schedule, Weil.

Just what I was thinking about yours (and the reason for the message
in the first place).

At least mine mentioned a musical instrument.

If you like that, you should check out the Teres Audio site, and look at some
of those turntable bases:

I especially like the Goncalo-Alues.

Me too, although it supposedly takes a back seat to the Cocabola in terms of
sound quality. Each wood is said to impart a slightly different sonic
signature on the 'table, which would undoubtedly cause Harold's head to
implode.

This just in: The Krooborg used to dress up his kids as vacuum
tubes on Halloween. He figured everybody would be frightened of the
tubes just as Krooger is.

No doubt the kids learned all about human nature by examining the
contents of the their trick-or-treat bags.

Said as nicely as I can, it's a boutique product. Yes, that will probably
ensure low production because a big market for something as retro-technology
doesn't likely exist.

Best, worst, whatever. It's all gratuitous illusion for people with time and
money to burn.

Fosgate is already ensuring low production. 500 units. Strictly for fun.

A $13k surround sound processor of any kind? Of course, so is any
attempt at reproduction.
