The sans-serif type is given character by subtly clipping the 'T' letterforms, echoing the blue angle. Simple, definitive lines reflect our promise of performance."Well, at least now Tek has a logo that is appropriate to their dire product offerings.

Spooky detail and holography, revealing information that you have never heard on your most familiar recordings will have you glued to your listening chair for endless hours.Timbres and decays were so natural, so lifelike, I just could not believe this much information was on the recording and I had never heard it before.The CT-1 Ultimate Helix is no musical scalpel. It expertly extracts more musical information than any other power cable and allows your system to play with emotion unlike anything you have heard before."

content: With that new logo - they deserve all the hangers-on that call them Textronix...!The new slash across the X allows ambiguity to creep in for casual observers.Of course if they can't spell anyway - Tectronics is as good as it gets!

content: ............Orhttp://www.tweekgeek.com/tweaks/tweeks-by-brand/steinmusic-e-pad-s/They can't possibly be serious. Reading these product descriptions, they sound so condescending. The claims are so ridiculous they read like audiophile sarcasm. The blatant disregard comes across so vividly its painful. Wow.

content: Hello,well, I was always a sucker for typrographic design...but tbph, it does not look bad.Nice, minimalist, slanted. If they, now, manage to spruce up the design of their scopes. Sorta like that Olympus DSLR mockup which never made it to the market...
