  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Its just a prototype model, news are not good:
It came along w/his own huge tube amp which use four 300B tubes and unfortunately have a 5 pins non standard cable.
This is result from the Orpheus dementia.

It looks like something George Jetson would have. Products like this, and the Orpheus too, are about conspicuous consumption more than they are about sound IMHO. Show me what you can do for $500-$600, headphone makers.
