July 17, 20233 yr Author comment_916810 I see this meme pop up reasonably often, often in non-audio spaces. I knew I recognized the center photo. The guy in the image is not some unmarried audio snob with too much disposable income. It's MoT Dave Lavry, as photographed by the owner of a certain headphone site in Jude of 2009. That wasn't a typo. I have never heard a single piece of Lavry kit, so I cannot comment further. What I CAN remark on is that the amp in the photo is a is an RSA Emmeline II "Raptor." The entire image takes me back to the late 00s and reminded me of a completely biased impression I made at the time. I straight up do not trust amps where the PSU is that much better than the amp chassis. It looks weird and makes me wonder why there are so few components in the amplifier itself. I know about as much about amplifier design as I do about driving Formula 1 race cars, but it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Report
July 18, 20233 yr comment_916818 IMO, the Lavry DAC's were very good in their time.....DA-10 (which I owned and liked), and DA-11 (never owned, but heard once at a show and seemed to like). Edited July 18, 20233 yr by skullguise Report

It's of course a different DAC world now, but a DA10 is still in my speaker rig and I fondly remember the Lavry-Benchmark-Grace DAC battles. Report

It looks weird and makes me wonder why there are so few components in the amplifier itself. The power supply matters so much more, and is so much harder to design. Amp circuits are a dime a dozen - they all more or less sound the same. Report
July 18, 20233 yr comment_916880 This surprised me. I wouldn't have guessed that. Interesting for sure. Thanks Doug! Report
