Some of the ideas are creative, if nothing else. Particularly the TT’s... the coffee table thing is a bit novel, an interesting idea nonetheless.
You mean someone buys this stuff?
How do you get this past your significant other?

Check out the other offerings. Who buys this $%t? I'll be nice.
Initally, I thought it was a goof. How about a brick, or those speakers? The proprietor is definitely a risk taker.

At first glance looking at the picture I thought it was a joke. Now reading the description, Rega table, Dayton wireless, detachable power cord, holy crap that is some sick sense of humor. The person who would buy this, it should be considered child abuse, taking advantage of the retarded, something like that. Did anyone click to look at the other crap these guys sell? https://www.audiowood.com/shop/sonoscenes-2 Oh and check out these "speakers" if you can call 82dB a speaker! https://www.audiowood.com/shop/big-sound-things Another beauty: https://www.audiowood.com/shop/el-chunko Holy crap table jockey where do you find this stuff? https://www.audiowood.com/shop/little-sound-things |
I'm thinking this kind of "expression" would be a hit in my area-downtown Long Beach, Ca. We have a huge GenX, millennial and Z demographic that buy "vinyl" here. Plenty of disposable income. "Holy crap table jockey where do you find this stuff?" Millercarbon I thought that thing was a sub at first! Imagine 4 of those for a swarm configuration? Looks like something fromPee Wee's playhouse. I can't believe the company is also a Rega dealer. Someone willing to buy a P8(which is a decent table) decides to shop there? Well, I will give the guy a thumbs up for doing his own thing. Some of those pieces must be in demand? |
You asked who buys this stuff? Who sells this stuff? As far as “risk-taker” sellers go:

@thecarpathian “… The milkman with his tin actuaria??” Yep. This metaphor initially confused me too . It was explained to me that this was old-time lexicon for the shady, bottom-feeder milkman getting his milk to market made of the cheapest-you-can-find materials jugs such as tin …. This apparently is a past-era phrase of now verboten containers that leached toxic and higher levels of a number of potentially toxic metals. |
@thecarpathian “… The milkman with his tin actuaria??”Ah, ’actuaria’ ! That, is a whole lot clearer. You have ’aquaria’ written in your original post. I was pondering all day the meaning of why a milkman was carrying around a fish bowl.... It wasn’t a total loss, I learned there exists a milkfish, and I tried to tie the two together until I got a headache and had to take an aspirin and lie down. |
Hilarious reading the replies. I was surprised no one mentioned one key word: children? BTW @millercarbon et al, I'm suspicious that those "speakers" are actually baby aliens from the 1953 "War of the Worlds" movie. After all, the truth is out there and some think Area 51 will be open to the public soon. Hey, maybe it's full of great audio equipment! |
$4400 for a $900 Rega planar 3 built into a coffee table?... this is not for the audiophile community. This is for those who can't DIY and don't ultimately care about the sound. A Planar 3 for the layperson is probably all they will ever need. The raw edge custom coffee table is prefect for someones Aspen penthouse. Not for me but no judgment on the buyer or seller. Just not the kind of product that resonates with this forum. |
Perfectly normal speakers, for the right sort of person. They would go perfect with this guys turntable. https://youtu.be/3CyKi1MLq6s?t=8 |
"I, fool;...and his money are soon parted". ....better, but the original ’A’ is less personal...*L* 1st thought...."SOHO vibe in Nawlinz..yeah, ’bout right.." #2...buyer of that table does not have pets other than fish. 3...bought for coolfactor only, first party invites spilt drink on spinning lp.. 4... hyperallergic to dust...lives Alone, no phone, no pool, no pests, ain’t up for....🐱👤s...... Opt for an inset disc player with an ’outboard drive’, inlaid into that limb burl with a touchscreen next to..... Me? *S* Rather have a 4 axis router...I have that sort of lumber loafing about....denser, harder, heavier, laughs @ carbides. I’d also thought of a ’bow-tie’ at the end with that split in an ’audio theme’, but they invite inquires..... ....if you absolutely Must have It...;{) I don’t like speakers that stare at me. I think a pair of the BSTs’ backed by a gaggle of LSTs’ could be fun. Give the LTs’ a sheep-like coat of acoustic foam. The BTs’ foamed in such way that they look like "Shepard Ts’ ", with the whole company performing nothing but chorus pieces.... "Performance Art Audio....On Stage....Yours." ;) The Cookie Slab TTs’....eh, not impressed, but the Customs could be ’lovely PerfArtA....given the Right Things. Fun stuff...but not my stuff, no. Good Luck to them, tho’ |
I once recommended it to a co-worker that wanted something Scary..... The 'review' started with: "WTF is That 'baby' all about ?!" Comic relief... ...his mind flew away like dandelion seeds....*ffooommm*...*s* @tablejockey ....Long Beach, huh? Began there in '51, grew up in Northtown LB, before the freeways turned to rivers of steel, glass and plastics... ...but it's home. Harder to wade around of late...wave to the Pacific for me. No place like...the beaches, back then, still now? |
"El Chunko" looks quite solid. https://www.audiowood.com/shop/el-chunko Keeping inline with the mass loading camp. Perhaps there is a discount at checkout if you provide your contractor license #? |
Yup, someone somewhere will sometime buy this 'stuff', much like the 'floating platter' TT and things beyond the rational regards of the readers here... An ad for 'conformable ear buds'....You remove the ear bud itself, heat the ear piece itself, stick it into your ears, and wait for them to cool. How hot? Wasn't specific on that detail.... If you needed restraint in the molding phase, likely too hot...*G* |
