Default How to 'borg-proof your home




Arnii Krooger, please avert your eyes. I'm about to link to a news story
that will cause your undies to twist themselves into a knot.

CNN tells of a $27,000 turntable that's engraved with each buyer's name.
(There's also a $64,000 version that has FOUR arms.)

It's called the Gabriel Turntable, and you won't find it at
Wal-Mart. Crafted in limited editions by an Italian company
that will engrave each buyer's name on it, the Gabriel is to a
Kenner Close 'N Play what a Ferrari is to a Yugo.

"When I look at it," said Placido Pappalardo, co-owner of
maker Angelis Labor, "the only word that comes to mind is love."

To me, it looks like a prop from one of The Donald's glitzy condos.

"It is a thing of beauty," said Jonathan Valin, executive editor of
The Absolute Sound magazine, who saw the turntable in Las Vegas
but didn't get to hear it. "Whether it is a world-class turntable,
I don't know."

Just the ringing endorsement audiophiles look for.

Agreed. A proper setting might be one of Hef's bedrooms in the Playboy
Mansion. Replace the turntable with a upwards pointed water nozzle and it
might make a pretty impressive bidet. ;-)

Uh-oh. A big "Oops!" on my part. I accidentally triggered the Krooborg's
"I said it first" reflex.

Agreed.


I misspoke. I meant to say it reeks of class and exudes a powerful aura of
audio excellence.

My mistake.

Now George, I have to give credit where credit is due. That's funny!
