Audiophilia for the masses
After getting my turntable repaired at 2007 Sound and Light on the Moseley Road in Balsall Heath (thoroughly recommended – Lonnie and his team are superb and my Technics 1210 has never sounded so good), I thought I’d follow the advice of a comment on this blog made recently by a man named Huw, and check out an amplifier that sounded just a bit too good to be true.
It was less than £40 brand new on eBay, and according to this review, it competes with equipment over 100 times its price. That’s not a typo. For audio fidelity, clarity, sound stage, presence… it’s utterly revolutionary. At least that’s what the experts said:
Warning: this has been the most thrilling and incredible experience I’ve had with a component in, say, 25 years of HiFi listening. This website has existed since 1995, I’ve reviewed hundreds of HiFi components, inexpensive and ridiculously overpriced ones. I never – repeat – NEVER came across such a stunning piece of gear in all of these years.
