conrad-johnson hVA1 - $7000!

@Marco honestly, this may be worth paying attention to:

Speaking as someone who immensely enjoyed the Project Sunrise for a long while (basically a Project Horizon optimised for lower-impedance headphones) and who's currently re-discovering how much power supplies matter for amplification via playing around with an older amp from circa 2008, it could well be that the hack described above might not shame itself in the face of the HVA1 while costing magnitudes less money. This forum loves great sound, but as far as I can tell great _value_ supersedes that... usually

 

Such vitriol. Didn't realize this was a good ole boys club. By now.

“Lots of pretty critical comments here considering that most have never tried this amp. I guess I'm just that old fart with too much money that drives my $100k SUV to the grocery store but count me in on this amp. Hopefully you guys don't talk about your neighbors wives this way without trying them first”


Imagine posting this and then complaining unironically about “good ole boys clubs.”

The ORFAS energy is palpable.
