I would say the same, except I do own something very similar to the low cut, sequened, Teal number.

    Wasn't sure the best place to post, but this is pretty cool.  Chris is my nephew, he is brilliant (as is my niece, they met at MIT). https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-astronaut-chris-william

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.

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).

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.

One of the neat things about living in such a famous place is that people do things like jump in a small airplane, fly around and photograph the town with a fisheye lens:

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.

This surprised me. I wouldn't have guessed that. Interesting for sure. Thanks Doug!

That sub that got squished?

I kid. Are those rings to bolt it down?

The Titan and a Fleshlight had a baby?

How is it going to both implode and explode?
