I can't believe no-one mentioned my MP3 player... not even the guy that was listening to it for half the meet.
[ok, so it wasnt half the meet, but it was a good long time]

What you want is the full-powered version of my tube headphone amp, puts out 8W per side into 8ohms. I believe it cost around $130US plus shipping, and about another $40Cdn for all the parts upgrades. Oh, and $400 for me to build it and bless it with magical pixie dust.

Oh please.. I can take the silver cable to the lab and dip it in liquid nitrogen to cryo-treat it.
At least that's something real!

Helium people, liquid helium. Liquid nitrogen is so yesterday, and we all know that helium is better because it's colder and it's also a noble gas.

That's included in the $400 for building and magical pixie-dusting. After all, I do need an enclosure to keep the fairy dust in!
