Since my escape from Ceausescu's Romania in a hot-air balloon made out of rubber raincoats (just kidding), I have been working on various projects that had fallen by the wayside.
The one that is coming to fruition within 30 days is the first product from Esperanto Audio, the "Small Batch" S/PDIF cable (Blue).
(After the cables in all their iterations, the next product family will be Gustav Mahler T-Shirts and Sweatshirts.)
In order to deter piracy, each cable will pass through a wooden block with the trademark, the signal direction arrow, and the serial number, all laser-engraved.
The blocks were hand-finished with hot orange oil and melted beeswax. I wish I could tell you that listening panels clearly preferred the sound of those blocks on the cable to Minwax or Watco. But I can't.
I'd love to tell you that the coaxial conductor was made from Civil War era pennies, melted down in a crucible heated by charcoal, but I can't.
I'd love to tell you that the dialectric is congealed sap from pre-Phylloxera Hungarian rootstocks, but I can't.
What I can tell you is that if you aren't happy, you get your monkey back.
Assuming we bartered, and I ended up with your monkey.
ATB,
John
