#  What Noise Annoys a Noisy Oyster?

   A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn.

     My serious offer for the amp is $100 (one hundred), which is about
the used value of the amplifier section in my "run-of-the-mill" NAD receiver.
It undoubtedly "sounds" just as good at levels less than the threshold
of pain.

     You know, the Japanese are fond of technological curiosities
for their worth as antiques (i.e. Harley motorcycles, Macintosh tube amps),
so you might get a better offer from the land where stylish audio is king.

     As with any distressed goods, the basic question is why the item
is for sale.  In this case, it just couldn't be the price/performance
ratio, could it?  I'm guessing that it must have a high junk value
for the 24K gold wiring.  Or perhaps it must be able to drive not only
inefficient speakers, but an automobile as well.  Does the car come with it?
