Cain and Cain used to use to partner up at shows with these amps, before the builder of Cain And Cain passed away. I think the Cain and Cain brand is being carried on, but I don't know details.
Really wild-looking tube amps
I once stumbled on a site devoted to custom-built tube amps that were designed as objets d'art as much (or more than) for practical audio applications. Anybody know what I'm talking about? For the life of me I can't remember anything about the name of the business. Hopefully the site is still up somewhere but all I remember is that these things looked like they came straight from a mad scientist's lab, with lots of bizarre tubes I've never seen anywhere else chosen for their aesthetic appeal. Somebody help me out here. The stuff looked like audio equipment designed by Dr. Seuss. It's sculpture, really.
