Duchy of Grand Fenwick

Kokintz Audio

The Q-bomb (Ouadium bandwidth-unlimited omnidirectional master blaster) System consisting of the following items:

the Q-table
the Q-arm
the Q-cartridge
the Q-deck
the Q-pre
the Q-amp
the Q-speakers

all connected by Q-cables
all constructed with Carbon Fourteen.

Strengths: Lifelike, explosive and fiery with hurricane force sound. Literally a once in a lifetime experience. Best when listened to with a bottle of Pinot Grand Fenwick and GF chewing gum.

Weaknesses: Once you have heard the Q-bomb System, you won't be able to listen to anything else. No digital.
