Saw it, had to post it:

New Joy Mangano's The Candle Disc Player - CD Player - eBay (item 280401070446 end time Oct-23-09 10:23:28 PDT)

It gives new meaning to the term, "burning a disc."

Coating your CD in wax will make the laser beam hit the grooves at precisely a 47.624 degree angle and thus eliminate all read errors. Your audio will sound smoother than ever before. When you're done listening, you can shoot yourself in the head and feel the tremendous impact.

Put me down for 2.

I find cinnamon candles bring out the low level detail while subduing the vocals

 

[Joelby]

^ Thus the new saga of candle rolling begins!

I'll go for a pine scented candle to extend the highs without being overly bright.

I know what my Head-Fi "Secret Santa" is going to get this year.

Hmmmm... $17.95.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll take one for the team so we can have one at the Newport Beach meet in November.

Thoughts?

This is perhaps the greatest quote in all of Head-Fi. Sigged.

Well, ACTUALLY fellas, I know for a fact that VANILLA scented candles really open up the soundstage, increase detail, and make Skullcandy earbuds sound OMG AMAZING!!11!1

 

[Lazarus Short]

Do you suppose it has a digital output? Even Toslink would be nice...

 

[ting.mike]

It would work if your set up tends to sound cold.

 

[fenixdown110]

It's makes everything sound warmer.

Nice high-end source, this is a little revolution, mind you ! a candle porewed cd player ! Getting "of the grid" really set the performance on another level, and you can also try different candle flavour ! Also notice the quality of the plastic and the buttons ! other manufacturers should be ashamed !

You know this thing is much better with a set of roller bearing footers which the effectiveness of can be easily calculated by the amount of flame shake (lack thereof = better performance, DUH) the mass loading candle and it's lit wick has during playback

I bet a few tweaks on the inside of this unit will vault it past the venerable SONY PS-1

Peete.
