Hey Doc you teased us about a new and controversial product that has not appeared yet and I believe you introduced it over a year ago.
Wtf over? Were you jerking are collective chains? C'mon lets us know and get feedback, or email me privately and fill me in. LOL.
Peace, Love and Happiness all.

Gotcha

You must mean our new audio shoe mod kit I've been working on. After a lot of research we have realized that good sound starts with your feet. And so we will be selling a special modification kit for your favorite listening shoes. The mods increases image height (by increasing your height), the lugged heels stabilize the sound through the more slippery passages and and in general the music will have a more polished feel to it. The mod works particularly well to enhance neo sole music and any jazz tune with a stomp progression.

I can see a market for a product like that. I can beta test if you like. size 11 EEE.

If it breaks down and needs repair do you need to call a Toe Truck?

The only word that comes to me at this time is OUCH.

LOL ;D
Edit:
From PJ's link ...
Toe Truck - Right Foot
Lincoln Towing had two Toe Trucks. The Left Foot is the original (formally a VW Microbus) and was stored on the roof at 609 Fairview Av N Seattle for many years. It was subjected to 2 car accidents into the bldg. and a couple of arson attempts before the owners Ed and Connie Lincoln sold the tow company to Roadone.
;D ;D ;D ultimate hotfoot!

Somehow i feel like someone here is pulling my leg here.
-
Pulling your leg hair?

Edit: I didn't have my specs on when reading that ....
-
I assume crosstalk is minimized? But apparently crosswalk comes into play?
-
When can we expect the auto toe tap upgrade?
-
That Toe Truck was definitely prominent in my childhood.

What is it with big feet and the state of Washington?
How big are those pictured shoes Doc? I'd estimate 2.68 feet (~size 32) or thereabouts?

No, I just get one foot in each shoe like most folks.

Those are handsome shoes Doc. I'm sure it's no small feat to perfect a mod like that.
-
I just checked - average shoe size for someone my height is around 9.5-10.5. I wear a 9.5E to 10E in most shoe types. So no small feat. But not particularly oversized feat either.
Peebs - that explains the single shoes that are for sale on ebay all the time. "Beach find".

LOL .... "all the time' .....

I love tube rolling but sole rolling is the next thing to do, to hear those nuanced subtle changes in sounds stage.

Sorry I'm late to the party here. Will there be a Maxwell Smart edition? I'm surprised no one picked up on that.
Aural Robert.
-
Yeah Robert, It makes no sense to offer a listening shoe with a bunch of phone components in one sole, I think you can see how this would throw off the sound stage dramatically.
-
Will finishes be limited to Shoe Polish only?
-
One must always be weary of reflective finishes in the listening area. This gives the user the choice of finish that would produce a nice balanced sound stage. Remember this product is supposed to elevate the stage, not shift it laterally. Someone who is really in tune with there environment may be able to make an x,y and z axis change in one try but I would start with the z axis first then listen until they are comfortable then experiment with the x and y to fine tune . Empirical data should be applied as this this is such a ground breaking approach that no data has been published and Doc B is being quite tight lipped about it. I feel he should have waited before he announced this product until he has more data. Just my .02c
-
And to pipe up some more we have had no word from PJ or PB regarding this matter which makes me feel that they do not take this product seriously.
-
No, we do, but Doc B. made some very strong business moves that pushed back the need for it by about another year.
-
Wait, wait, wait, that's what I / we all have been doing for a long time. I
m inclined to look for investors and bring this concept to market.
-
I'd be happy to throw in my option for the new design if anyone is interested in buying the company. I'll even throw in a pair of Florsheim Imperial Kenmore longwings.
-
Interesting proposal, I'll put this forward to my investment panel. I have to advise you that they are very thorough and spent an inordinate amount of time making decisions regarding my finances. You can expect a response about 10 months.
