I am pretty impressed with the one in this thread already... putting diamond on electronic that "heats" up never seemed to be a good idea to me.. diamond + fire/high heat = good old carbon.

diamond is actually an outstanding thermal conductor at temperatures that do not destroy it.

I actually can see someone like Paris buying and wearing them.

Koetsu are doing all sorts of precious stone options for their carts these days. Although I dont think diamond is one.

I don't think it does matter that much for those people who will buy it. It becomes sort of collection instead of daily use.

And you are right, this probably not for head-fi'ers

Diamonds and Audio don't mix IMO.

I couldn't fine any other picture that this rendering. I don't see the appeal. Maybe in real life it would look better.
