AI goes SET

Postby mandym » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:49 am

Here is a sneak preview to whet the appetites of the "horny" minimalists!

It has got choice OEM parts from among the best manufacturers, very well built, very good sounding and gets the perfect blend of "retro" and "neo" styling!

My next posting will reveal more, please stay tuned.

My revelation:
THE AMP WAS NOT FROM A FOREIGN COMPANY. It was made right here by Grand Master Rene Rivo! It was lent to me by the owner since the last November HiFi Show. It is now April and the pleasure of listening to it remains undiminished.

I "fibbed" a little by adding a pseudo-manufacturer's logo to test member's response as to the amps heritage. I assume now, since there was hardly any feedback, that it has passed the visual acceptance criteria for commercial units and accepted as such. Talented Camotecue is even drooling over it.

I actually think it has way surpassed the VAC for mass-produced gear. Under close inspection the amp shows it was not made by mechanical robots but by an expert artisan! This is an amp destined to be a collectors item!

I WANNA BE LIKE RENE
