Adam, check http://www.avguide.com/blog/high-end-audio-japan-part-four-solid-state-technical-brain which I stumbled on trying to find out how Jason Bloom died in 2003. Apparently, he fell. That's pretty much all I know - maybe I didn't look hard enough

Cool - interesting. In that last picture, those speakers look pretty nice to be wearing a wickedly nasty "Technics" badge!

There's more to the story....

Agreed, though HFN have just given a really good review to some Pioneer floorstanders, which I thought equally odd...
His whole Japan blog is worth a read: http://www.avguide.com/blogs/jonathan-valin. Don't miss the Audio Teckne horns (Flash Gordon design) - and read the text associated with it. Pic below - note they appear to be attached to the rafters!
Jeff - what do you know?

Curious alright - I don't quite understand how it works?
That outrigger arm changes the cartridge offset so that the stylus is parallel to the groove across the record. So although the arm describes an arc across the record, the cartridge remains parallel to the grooves at all times, in theory.

Oh, I see - thanks.......and I guess so much for rigidity? Wonder how it sounds?

I don't if it works (sounds good) or not. I do love the look and concept.

Somewhat like the Garrard Zero 100? IIRC one of the problems with that arm was the friction due to so many bearings.

Actually, the B&W picture was supposed to be an animated gif, that shows you how it works. Not sure why it didn't and I'm not going to look into it since everyone knows now anyway.
My view is it is probably a little too complex/fragile for it's own good. As for rigidity, it seems like a great goal, but as Well Tempered have proved in the past, even that rule can be broken and a TT can still return a great performance.
The only way to know is to listen to one, as ever...

Sorry - those are f'ugly.
If, like the F1 engine, the speakers have 1.5M lbs thrust, the listening session will be very brief indeed.

You know, looking at those speakers and the associated electronics, it looks that that owner has some pretty esoteric gear.
But what REALLY caught my eye was the appalling art on the walls. They look like he stole them from a Southern California Super-8 Hotel. WTF?
If the art on his wall reflects this owner's aesthetic sensibilities, then I imagine that rig must sound something like a Bose 3-2-1 system... :ROFL:

Worthy of some British respect. So here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03cy86u6Wi4&feature=related
One of my favourite songs of all time. Shame about the SQ but turn it up...
Unfortunately, that was easily the best song they ever wrote.
Obligatory lyrics:
Lady take a ride on a Zeke 64, Jerry wants to be a rockette
That's a popular misconception, says we haven't seen anything yet
Laying down the lifeless corpse of President 35
The lady crying by his side is the most beautiful woman alive
SATURN 5, YOU REALLY WERE THE GREATEST SIGHT
STRETCHING OUT ON A SUMMER'S DAY
HOUSTON, IT'S CALLING ME BACK TO HER
Lady take a ride on a Zeke 64, Jerry wants to be a rockette

SATURN 5, YOU REALLY WERE THE GREATEST SIGHT
STRETCHING OUT ON A SUMMER'S DAY
HOUSTON, IT'S CALLING ME BACK TO HER
AN EAGLE LANDS, AND A PLANET FULL OF PEOPLE RAISES it's HANDS
ALL HAIL THE MEN WHO WILL WALK UP IN HEAVEN TODAY
Monochrome TV, all the things you ever represented to me
Take me once more, take me to heaven again
SATURN 5, YOU REALLY WERE THE GREATEST SIGHT
STRETCHING OUT ON A SUMMER'S DAY
HOUSTON, IT'S CALLING ME BACK TO HER
