That's so true. Although I suppose they could be thinking 'what an incredible nerd', most visitors seem genuinely interested in the tube technology and sound it produces. It takes conscious effort on my part to steer the discussion away, especially because it's hooked to something else they've never seen- a squeezebox. The 'full monty' involves getting out the handheld browser and showing them the server PC etc. Also entertaining is how many guitar players, even some who use tube amps, didn't realize tube playback equipment was available. They all say they want one, but I doubt any of them ever went ahead with it. There is one guy who begs me to sell it to him every time he hears it! Mikewynndub, I'll bet you, and your guests, will find the sound totally hypnotic :-) -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32099 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
