If you own one, please invite me to your audio room so I can check this out?

Well put, egay. However, it is not titanium, but rather unobtanium used!

aha, that's it dana! the same materials used by oakley and only mined in Pandora where they had to kill the natives
chet, i am with you: only collectors like yourselves are really going to go for these TTs...or maybe those planning to setup a broadcast station, playing vinyls 24x7x365
and i guess, just like anything collectible to "someone", there is a certain mystique that only yourselves could know 'what' or 'why'
enjoy!
