Who needs spellcheck?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I'm wdgtieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh, and I awlyas toughht slpeling was ipmorantt!

Besides, we have products that look like they should read UMM! TOE JELLY, Kuiet, Oral Thrills, Teal, Aireal, Say Wha, etc. Actually, it may be more audiophoolish to ban Spellcheck.

What other products come to mind?

Man, I was hoping there would be some additional components to ad to my short perverted list. I don't know why but I have a problem with buying gear when the name turns me off. At the top of my list is the AH! stuff. Their CDP's will always be Toe Jelly to me. Let's have some of that good old jax2 humor here. Life is too short to not make fun of ourselves. I love my Linn gear but if Ivor keeps using K's to such abundance in the naming of all his Krap I won't buy anymore.

Papertrail,

You actually bumped into another human brain "thingy" accidentally too. Now, this is with humor.....the human ability to not read...skip...not listen...skip. Leads to lots of misunderstandings. Har har

I'm really disappointed that nobody has responded to what I find great humor in. The naming of high end audio components. Some really respected gear is so absurdly named that I would never consider owning them.

I didn't mean to offend. Really. I just find the human brain to be a mysterious and funny organ. I guess I could beg for some examples about equipment names but I won't. I'm still not buying anything that reminds me of toe jelly. Please, no offense intended to those that own the AH products.

Dean and Marco's exchange reminds me of a time I'd, uhmmm, polished my chin with a girlfriend earlier in the day. Much later while sitting at the bar an annoying object worked its way from the back of my tongue to where I could grab it with my fingers. I absent mindedly wiped my finger on the drink napkin and there was this curly object. Some gal sitting a barstool away must have been watching me because as I lifted my head and we made eye contact her expression showed her utter disgust. Without missing a beat I raised my eyebrow along with my glass and explained, "Really fine floss". Ahhh, priceless.

I did the DIY kit route. German manufacturer. Two way design. At the top is the holdzemfrumflopin silk tweeters. The bottom register is driven by the grinzenlipz rotating drivers. I chose the kepzemkumin crossovers.
