iPod speaker system designed by Jean-Michele Jarre is stylish and expensive

Jean Michele Jarre has put down his synthesizer and colored cigarette in order to cobble together this stylish iPod dock/speaker system. It’s dubbed "Aerosystems" and it looks pretty dang cool. Not to mention phallic. We won’t be getting into that last part though .This is a family website.
Aimed at the high end audiophiles, the system is designed to produce high quality tune-age. The circuitry in the amp is able to add some back of the quality that is missing via MP3 encoding. Finally, we can end the digital versus analog debate once and for all!
The unit retails for around $570. Click here for more information.

Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI. The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software.
