[R-390] Audiophools...like us.

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 11:44:44 -0800

Had to throw this in:  Was reading a magazine called the "Robb Report" in my
dentist's waiting room yesterday afternoon, and it contained a full page ad
for a retro-look 45 watt audio amp/preamp combo made by Moth. The single
channel amps were $20K each, and a preamp was another $6K. Used a single
304TL in each amp, didn't notice what was driving it. All tubes encased in
double handblown bell jars, with engraving, naturally. Can't figure out if I
was stunned or envious, or both. There's clearly too much disposable income
floating around out there.
