mike stehr Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Exactly! Even boys with the big bucks are sensible. $1500 for a CD player Dean? You A$$hole! No, I'm just kidding! What brand is the unit you bought, BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom makes a point, some people have big bucks and these prices are a drop in the bucket to them. I got scolded once on AA for going off on somebody who paid $9000 for a Mothra Research power cord. (I think that was the brand.) I thought they were nuts. Uh...... Mothra Research is an AudioAsylum April Fool's sham... Kinda like Lirpa Lab's stuff..from Audio Magazine, when it existed ------------------ --- Klipsch SF2 Thorens TD145 / AT440ML turntable Dynaco Stereo 70 power Sansui CA-2000 pre Pioneer RT707 tapedeck Pioneer 4100 cd player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Doesn't Mothra Research exist? You kinda lost me here, Sorry. Is it some kind of AA inside joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Bey Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Silly goose Mike, of course Mothra exists. Just check out their web page: http://www.mothraresearch.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 That Mothra page is classic..... I feel like forming Godzilla Valves. It would probably float overseas... kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Mothra! Now I remember! It was the moth that destroyed Tokyo, blowin' little model cars around and sh*t! And they had two little pixie chicks in a cage that would sing MOOOOOTTHHRAAAAA! Remember the one that had a monster formed out of pollution?! Yeah I looked at the site, they even have a Forum. Which is all I can afford, is to visit the Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Yeah, the site is a bit over the top... they should have stopped while they were ahead. Mike, please tell me you have figured out that it is completely tongue in cheek! THat last comment about only being able to afford the Forum had me worried! heh... kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenratboy Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Fifty bucks says that the people running the site don't have ANYTHING in stock. You order, they order, sell it back to you at ?X retail price. Probably voids the warranty in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Anyone home? The site IS TONGUE IN CHEEK. Spoof. A cackling laugh a minute (not really but...) Please Klipsch Forum members, dont do this to yourselves! LOrdy. Perhaps I should start asking for money.... kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Ya know, I thought about trying a pair of the TEA-9501PCS Mono Phono Preamps for $257,521 'cause I figured I could always return it if I didn't like it...with only a 10% restocking fee! And that mothraresearch.com site is a bit over the top, ain't it??

mike stehr Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hey! I'll be the first one to admit I'm brain dead. Pardon me, But my short bus has arrived and I can't find my helmet. What? no panhandling on audio Forums? DAMMIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hey! wouldn't it be hilarious if that guy was just re-packaging Joseph Lau's stuff and adding three digits to the prices? LMAO! really that stuff looks just like Lau's boxes with big tranny covers, etc...sounds a little like the hoopla over Mark Levinson's added zero amp!...tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
