[QUOTE="Ingvar Ahlberg, post: 846410, member: 15447"] No, as far as i know Jim Bongiorno did not have a lisp or any other speech disorders, just liked naming his stuff in a different way than what was the norm at the time. While, for instance, Audio Research, during same period named all preamps SP3, SP3a, SP4 etc, the GAS preamps were named, from top to bottom, Theadra, Thoebe, and Thalia, power amps were Ampzilla, Son of Ampzilla and Grandson of Ampzilla ( and the rare beast Godzilla). The tonearm was named Black Widdow and the MC cart Sleeping Beauty. I think they are ok names on very good products. Ingvar [/QUOTE]
