They had a fake one like that on Amazon too.
It had the samurai hair doo and sideburns along with man bun on top!
New amplifier build. Like I need another! I don't want to spend 5-6K on an amplifier, so I build them. Power amplifiers, preamplifiers, phono pre amps, this sort of thing.
I have a vacuum tube phono/preamp driving a vacuum tube power amp hooked up to a pair of Altec Voice of the theatre A7 in the basement.
2 separate class A solid state systems upstairs, one driving Tekton speakers on one end, and some I built on the other. 5 cu ft JBL 4705 box loaded with 15 inch JBL 2235H bass drivers, with B & C compression driver and wave guide on top.
At least 2 more similar systems up stairs, 2 in my bedroom alone!
Latest project: clone of PAS laboratory XA25.
Have the case assembled, soldering amp's circuit board in other pic. I have the power transformer, output devices, and power supply caps, 16 of them, 50 volt 33,000 uF each.
Once boards are done and wired in case, I will fire it up on a variac to slowly ramp it up while multiple meters monitor offset and Bias current.
Also have a build for a new set of speakers, have crossovers built and 16 bass drivers, midranges, and planer driver for the treble.
Awaiting shipping of flat pack of all parts CNC cut.
Boys and their toys. I really need a hot rod....

I have B& W 804s with a Classe amp cdplayer and preamp.
But I have to say with all this bluetooth and having a way to play so easy its mostly mp3s
Yes, and so is Bertha, Bertha BUT...one of the but sisters....Boo is lying.
I like big butts and I can not lie.Okay so it's a song,,butt it's a good song.
I don't allow MP3 in the house....maybe spoken word...normally do vinyl, if digital usually flac files, zilch compression.

Spoken word? Like poetry or speeches? What kind of spoken word Bubba? Do you still buy vinyl?
Yes I still buy vinyl. It availability has greatly increased the past few years, tons of used.
Spoken word, all I think I have are recordings of CBS mystery theatre episodes from 70s and 80s. Mostly listen to stuff like that online, YouTube, etc

We are all the time looking thru old records. We have a nice old record store here that never closed down when all the others did. We have been shopping there for 50 years and the guys dad owned it before that. Nice and junky too with all kinds of stuff to sort thru. I’m always surprised to see all the young folks in there shopping for stuff I bought 40 years ago.
Vinyl never really went away, and has come back strong the past few years.
Yep. It didn’t go away for us. We have a large collection. Can’t help browsing the $1 rack for CDs too. My new truck doesn’t have a CD player so I guess they are pushing that away too. I guess a CD player is no longer included in the bells and whistles anymore
but you do get these fancy lights I just saw for the first time last night that shine on the street when you open your doors. ( I would have chosen the CD player over the cool lights tho…)
