Yes, that's a PlayStation sitting among certified high-end gear. Rumor has it the first gen PS ain't that bad a source and, playing through the $1950 DeVore Gibbon 3Rs and the $5495 Leben CS-6000 integrated (on the left) from Tone Imports, I'd have to agree. Definitely cool and definitely fun bucking the mega-buck transport trend.

DeVore also showed their larger $4000 Super Gibbon 8s and the statement $12k Silverback Reference speakers in two other rooms. As usual, the green lovelies from Shindo provided the perfect companion to the DeVores, albeit not at a Playstation price. Tone Import's Auditorium 23 speaker cables at $900/pr brought out cotton-wrapped coolness that got one of the 6Moonies to proclaim: "you must buy this speaker cable now!"

Yes, that's a PlayStation sitting among certified high-end gear. And a monkey (?) plush. Don't forget that monkey plush. Definitely surreal.
"...6Moonies..." :D :D :D More like SrajanEbaenishies. :D :D :D
Yes, the DeVore Fidelity stuffed gibbons make an excellent acoustic treatment. Thanks for spotting him!
You joke, John, but the sonic improvements were not trivial. Based on similar small form acoustic treatments, I'd say you sell your gibbon-trap for three, maybe, four hundred dollars.
