You're in good company. Einstein didn't buy into it either.
There's always TG Audio, Bob Crump's old company. As in throbbing gristle. Now whether you consider that a good name or a bad name probably depends on a number of factors. Lol. Vendetta Preamp, Bar B Q Amplifier, Blowtorch Preamp and the Number Cruncher DAC were all associated with Bob Crump and John Curl.
