Hi everyone....
This is by no means a post to punt a certain brand or product.... but I have been guilty of following the reviews and never really exploring different brands or products... and I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
I recently purchased a hybrid integrated amp, made in South Africa of all places.... not a place you would expect to be developing some awesome hi-fi components. And yes I'm aware of Vivid Audio speakers and a few other brands that originate from there.... I just never considered purchasing them before.
I have a stereo set-up that I felt needed a change, and I was hell bent on changing my speakers which are B&W CDM1NT's... but by chance I came across an amp called the Valve Audio Exclame, and I'm really enjoying the sound of my speakers again. It's changed my perspective.... I'm looking foward to purchasing some of the other components they produce.
So, back to my question... do you own a component that you feel is probably rare or something that the rest of us are missing out on?
Something for WHF - what about a feature on small 'boutique' manufacturers? maybe open our eyes to some new brands?
Cheers
SM
