I thought Jan Meier didn't like tubes... and wow, that looks kind of tacky. Not subtle and understated at all, like the rest of the Corda lineup.

DAC + Tube Amp

 

[asmagus]

Mayby Jan Meier will post some info here about this piece of art?

 

[Lil' Knight]

Holy cow.

It looks ... weird.

 

[mossman]

Good grief. That does not look good at all IMHO.

 

[agbassano]

Actually the pyramid is quite fitting... now the hieroglyphics the Germans love to use seem much more appropriate!

 

[krmathis]

DAC/Amp maybe...?

 

[El_Doug]

Looks quite trashy

Not at all like their other stuff

 

[asmagus]

It looks great ... but we still do not now what is it?
Amplifier - but what kind?

 

[Anonanimal]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[AmanGeorge]

Wow.... it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the disco party going on at the top of the pyramid

 

[Skylab]

I think it looks cool! But you sure can't stack anything on top of it

EDIT:

I got the following email reply from Jan to a query I made about this:

Quote:

Music Hi-Fi is a Taiwanese company that not only is one of the largest resellers of headphones and headphone amplifiers (including the CORDA line) but also soon will start to produce/sell their own headphone tube amplifier. I've ordered two copies for testing. If I like the amp, then I surely will make it part of my sales-program.

So there you have it.
