Is this thing for real?

That does it. If chronic upgrading is some form of neurosis, this has to be schizophrenia writ large. Help! Get me out of here...

...just...just... put them in the closet!

I understand that OJ is ordering his custom-made in that distinctive Bruno Magli style. Moreover, and Blue Circle is expanding their offerings to include the entire Imelda Marcos line and has concentrated their efforts on sizing-down the amp so that it might fit into a more stylish clutch.

Me, I say hide it all in a pair of high-top Jordan/Nikes (having overpaid for both) and then stick them in the closet as Marakanetz suggests.......

One would think that a manufacturer would re-invest some of their profits on actually trying to make a better product, not experiment with idiocy. I hope that "hot glue" and "silicone" are not staples of their assembly line. Needless to say, i will probably never buy anything from this company. Sean

PS.. My personal point of view, take it for what it's worth.

Yes, as mentioned, they are for real. I too, saw them at the Show. Let's hope the idea dies a quick death.

Gilbert Yeung was really proud of them. He was more interested in talking about the pumps than the BC3 preamp I just bought. My fiance found them ridiculous, and thinks the BC3 a whole lot more elegant. Sadly, I would have to admit that they probably sound stellar. Cannot say, though, for whatever reason, Blue Circle didn't play any of their equipment. The small, unknown company with them did all the playing.

And, yes, Sean, silicone is a staple of Blue Circle. Used for damping resonances(on their connections), as they also do with Dynamat(a big sheet on the preamp's cover). While I have yet to fire up my preamp(need one more component for the second system), I can assure you that Blue Circle's sonics are about as good as things get.
