a great name for a phono stage!

anyone ever try to play a really warped record...?

curthump

by the way, I love the name "Blowtorch"
it's so macho

after all, who would spend $15000 on a piece of gear called "Pussyfoot"?

"Hey Jack, call the guys and tell them to come over and see my Pussyfoot preamp."

or

"Get your lame ass over here and check out this Blowtorch, motherf*****."

It almost sounds illegal--forbidden, "Hey Sweetheart, go over there and turn up the gain on that Blowtorch--go ahead--I DARE you!" "Don't worry, it's direct coupled, zero feedback, and made by a couple of zellots in a garage out of parts stolen from a classified spy satelite--it's probably safe, those are rubber-soled shoes, aren't they?"
"No, I don't know why they call it the "Blowtorch". I heard it was a nickname given by widows of the Beta testers."

Really, if they don't have a story behind that name, I'd be happy to make one up for them. I think I would go with the classified military satelite theme: codename for a clandestine particle-beam weapon that required incredibly close-tolerance parts...I can't believe they just chose it at random, unless they were smoking crack in that garage...
