Above, you may feast your eyes on Prof. Emilio Zuntaras’ Bi-Orbital Spectral Audiometer, an utterly wonderful CD player modification from newly-realised Steampunk fan, Professor Zuntaras, of the Steampunk Forum. It is exceptionally hard to believe, but most impressive to know, that this started out life as a standard dull $14 CD player, but that now everything you see in the video above is functional!
