The past couple of days I have been secretly working on a new project with PB. In a meeting with the Queen and PB last Sunday, PB proposed a new design that is simple and cost effective. Honestly my prejudices about the design concept were such that I didn't have very high hopes for the sonics. PB cooked up the prototype that afternoon, and after my first listen I was seriously hooked on it. It worked far better than I expected and during dinner Sunday night we were at what is often the most fun part of the development, thinking up a name. The prototype got me hooked on its sound so fast that I thought Crack was appropriate.
Yup, you're right, I haven't said what it the heck is. You will have to wait until early next week when we have the production prototype finished and ready to show you. I can tell you that the introductory price will be $199 and you won't even have to go to a bad neighborhood to buy it. We'll have an order button up next week, with a plan to ship the first kits as soon as the chassis panels are delivered. That usually takes about three weeks.
