The "coolest" looking system?

O.K., this goes along with the best/worst speaker threads as banal. So what? I don't care what the stuff sounds like,if you were just going for looks, what would you put together for a system? What made me think of this is the Shanling CD T 100. This thing looks very cool and is where I might start. Maybe add a Hovland Sapphire, a Hovland HP-100,an Oracle Delphi Mk V, and a pair of Martin Logan Prodigy's with an aniline blue dye finish for speakers(just to keep with the glowing blue Hovland theme). Go nuts!

Yes!! The rumor is true. November is long underware month and my audio group will be putting together a package deal of "under components" if you are interested. They will be audiophile quality, fully treated and broken in (don't ask), and with a low "Q" factor. High resonance underware are such a pain in the ass! What's more, I'm fairly certain Albert can't get them.

(Sorry, but I'm off for the rest of the day as work has ended and I get to go home and goof off)

They list at $29.95 but with the tratment and shipping it's
$6,345.95. The synergy alone is a bargain. They are left over from my audio club's last group purchase. Don't let the price scare you. It feels quite musical...we like to think of the jacket as a "component." Music is fundamentally vibration and the last interface is, of course, your outerware - or underware, if you're so inclined, during serious listening.

That's funny isn't it. Too me the Shanling looks like a whore with too much make-up. Like being around a person who is trying too hard.

That's ok Max. I have never had any taste anyway!

Max? "Post-modern"?

I'm Cro-magnon.

Here's my idea of a good cheap date - Topless too!

Look at the knobs on that one! Matches my living room too!

It's not so much that I dislike the Shanling. It's just that I would feel obliged to go hog-wild and buy matching cables too!

Funny you should ask...I happen to have 20 of these.... Beauties cryogenically treated at a reduced price.
