Notice anything unusual about the picture above? No? Look closely...

This picture was taken at an after-hours cocktail party for press and other industry insiders held by On a Higher Note (Vivid and Luxman). So the people here aren't unwashed Best Buy masses, but hard core audiophiles.

Have you seen it yet?

Look at the pic below.

Yes, that's a glass of beer sitting on the new $9000 Luxman L-509A II amp (playing at the time). I was going to go give him hell, but he finished up doing whatever it was he's doing and moved on. The top of the amp is vented for heat dissipation, so the barrier between his beer driblets and the sensitive electronic circuitry is nonexistent. Unbelievable...

At least is a glass of Fat Tire. Maybe FT brings some sort of sonic enhancement when put on top of a component or something? I just have to find out next time around.
LOL, it's alcoholic Brilliant Pebbles. Actually, now that you mention it, I do remember the sound suddenly having a rich body and bouquet with a nice touch of hops...
I can hardly look at that picture...and with that statement I have just become my dad.
Now I want a beer. For breakfast.
Maybe thats where he droped the glass and almost fell over when he heard the price of the Amp ;-)
Mmmm... Beeeeerr...
And he's heating up a cold beer simultaneously...A Hitchcock moment. Shiver. Sweat.
Shiver. Sweat. Beeeeeeeeeer.
Some people just want to kick the tires around a bit before they drop that much cash. At least it's a Fat Tire and not a Coors Light....
Fat Tire, Coors Lite, it doesn't matter. They're both Colorado natives as well, so they deserve to be there.
