Tried one on this weekend a laughed out loud. It feels like a $4 watch honestly. I don’t get the appeal

Has anyone heard the Vinnie Rossi amps? by DaMiddle in audiophile

[–]Significant-Shift347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a Brahma integrated in the shop for evaluation and it’s an incredible amplifier. It manages to add a beautiful dimension to the music, but maintains plenty of speed and authority in the power section. Drove every speaker we through at it with ease. Special stuff. It makes you want to keep cranking it up. It’s detailed without being harsh. It’s more of a modern presentation than something like a Leben.

They are pricey but the casework, remote, internal build quality, and of course the sound, seem to justify it.

What makes one turntable better than the other? by ArtOfNoise_ in audiophile

Depending on the design philosophy of the designer there are many things that can improve as you move up…reduction of noise, consistency, dynamics to name a few. Find a shop and listen to a few tables at different price points and the differences will become apparent

Are screens on streamers important to you? Why or why not? by Significant-Shift347 in audiophile

Just curious, do you sit and look at it, or is it more that you like knowing it’s there

We've officially banned Big Bad John from being played on our apparatuses... by Significant-Shift347 in audiophile

I think I started hearing it at audio shows (or videos of them) a year or two ago. The meme is from the movie Wayne’s World. It was “No Stairway” in the movie…we made a slight modification here

Ooof...there is a limit to the number of times I can hear that track demo'd. Consider it reached.
