I guess that's the rule. Not so sure that there is a rule requiring me to answer, though.

That was such a cool AMA! Thanks for doing that!

3 questions popped up as I was reading the q/a:
  • You mentioned that all the cables in the pic were Bottlehead cables. Are they available for purchase?
  • Did I really read about a guitar amp??
  • I can't remember my third question but I distinctly remember having one!

Cheers, Doc B! Currently putting together a Stereomour II as I type this!

1)We did have a cable kit. While I think they sound particularly good, there are so many cables out there these days that we didn't sell enough to justify trying to keep straight the sporadic inventory needs. You can get something with similar sound (but not the right angle plugs we used) from Blue Jeans Cable, a very good retailer.

2)We did a guitar amp called the Tode. We sold quite a few, but again the demand was just a little too sporadic to justify warehousing the very different parts it required in our inventory. We might either do a limited run in the future, or more likely we will be offering some sort of head unit kit in the future.

3) Sorry to say I don't remember your third question either.
