chocolate conche [General]

I came across this recipe today for a pistachio butter that calls for a conche in case you get your hands on one and are looking for some things to try www.chefsteps.com

The pistachio butter sounds interesting.
I actually used to buy powdered pistachio from Malak pastry.
The owner used to sell me some during the summer, it was priced by the weight- and I'm sure if you ask he would do this, as they sprinkle pistachio powder on so many pastries there.
Malak pastry does sometimes make something similar to marzipan, but it is made with pistachio and cut into small squares. Kind of looks like fudge-but not too sure when they make this as I do not see this too often.
Nuts .com sells pistachio paste. I have not tried it yet:

Does anyone have one that a pretty young boy like me can borrow? Jars of delicious nutty spreads would be the compensation.
Time to be determined. I'm just putting some thought into this now so I have things lined up if I decide to go ahead with it. I still need to source some heart nuts, hazelnuts, and pistachio nuts.
Yeah, I know. Nuts.com. You don't need to say it. I'll start there and work my way around the internet.
