It’s here on test. It does have 12 sockets though so it’s a very reasonable £791.25 a socket :+1:t3:

Also need to factor in the value of that gloriously large meter on the front.

Been thinking about putting tangerine bags all over my cables for a while - Nice to see a co has picked up on this game-changing tweak

So long as your cables also cost £8,000, I suspect you’ll be able to afford this premium addition.

Gahhh, they do not.

This is where I have floundered.

:laughing:

I want one for my £100 class d amp and then daisy chain it off a few ikea extension cables

There was a time when large rotating optical assemblies (I can’t remember now whether they were very large telescope mirrors or lighthouse reflectors) were floated on pools of mercury. This meant the ‘bearing’ was constrained to be level, so you could only rotate about a vertical axis, but as long as you could live with that constraint you could achieve near frictionless motion and, sometimes more importantly, essentially ‘stictionless’ motion if you wanted to move the object just a tiny amount.

Back in the late 80’s early 90’s I’d usually go to the HiFi Show held in Paris at the Sofitel each year. For 2 or 3 years in a row a company was demonstrating a high mass turntable whose platter was suspended by a mercury bath possibly with a layer of oil on top. We definitely saw them a couple of times & there was a noticeable deterioration in the appearance of the people displaying it the last time we saw them.

A quick Google found it

Made my day - The added peril of Mercury really was the clincher - Where do I buy?

It could be remotely sited in a concrete bunker with a juke box type tech to feed it. Clean room techniques could be applied. NBC suit for any servicing required. Then there’s cables…
