I've had a bunch of xin portables. I used to buy them whenever they'd show up cheap on hf, then listen for a month, and resell. I'd use them when I was between other amps, basically. Good, but not great, and I'd never wait ages for one. Better than the hornet and sr71 tho. And a great match for etys.
I once broke a cat's nose. It was my girlfriend's cat, but we lived together. I was playing with him, and he bit me on my nose. Through the nostril. I jumped up and kicked him, breaking his nose.
I wasn't proud of it, but it happened.
All of my kids are going to be interesting and challenging for the rest of their lives. It's payback for my being interesting and challenging for my parents
Bowls were a change to calm the bass for people who didn't have proper amplification. RS1s were designed with flats. Bowls is revisionist history. Plug ANY rs1 into a good amp, and flats are the way to go.
