A million bucks worth of Magic Smoke

The jaw-dropping extravagance of the Idle Rich is featured from the 3 minute mark to the twenty minute mark. Feast your ears and your eyes on some mighty powerful juju. I particularly enjoyed the Magic Spatial Boundaries provided by three-inch hardwood discs - makes sense to me.

Radial strawlers? Diamond-grounded footer feet? Guess I'm not OCD after all, at least on a sliding scale . . . is it OK just to hurl instead?

It must be nice to throw money away when you have an abundance of cash flow.
A lot of BS on that video!

Have you been "Shun Mooked"? "Sh-Mooked"?

Those MBL speakers are crazy! Look like something from the steam punk era.

And a bargain at a mere 1/4 million! Pretty exotic stuff.

Funny, I just came across this online store: http://www.higherfi.com/   ....Featuring amplifiers and speakers ranging in price between what I would pay for a car to even beyond what I would (or can) pay for a house. I had an audiophool friend in South Africa who paid more for just a single interconnect cable (CD DAC --> Preamp) than what I paid for my complete system, and my system was no "low-fi" affair.... I should send him this, he'd be interested for sure.

Like Dilbert would say - "Never underestimate the Power of Stupidity".

Yeah, but their used prices are pretty attractive, don't-cha think?

I'll sell you a PH16 phono preamp for $2000 (instead of $1000) and put 140 hours (instead of 7 hours) of build time into it,
and if it's not as good or better than this other phono preamp, I'll give you a refund!!!
wait . . . maybe somebody got the exchange rate wrong, maybe those are Mexican pesos (17 to a $$), that would make it $4647

AUDIO NOTE

Technically, it wasn't PT Barnum.

Well, that makes me one as well.
