The $350,000 Amplifier: Wavac SH-833
The $350,000 Amplifier: Wavac SH-833
08/16/2004 08:06 AM
What does
a $350,000 home audio amplifier sound like? Fucking awesome,
apparently, which made me cough a little exhalation of relief as I was
reading Stereophile's review of the Wavac SH-833, the
third-of-a-million dollar amp in question. I don't know from audio,
really, but I know what I like, and that's vacuum tubes, lots of them,
all visible and glowing, and the SH-833 has those in spades. It also
has stuff like direct-heated-triodes and single-ended, class-A tube
monoblock power, but I don't know what the hell those are. But when
Michael Fremer says the SH-833 is the best sounding amplifier he's
ever heard - the bastard got one installed for two months by
the engineers who created it - I'm going to just have to believe him,
because otherwise, I'd have to believe all those stereotypes about
audiophiles being overly susceptible to buying ridiculously overpriced
gear, and then my whole reality would come crashing down around
me.
Oh, and for the budget conscious, there's a $70k bargain version.
But could you ever show your face at the ball wearing that?
(Thanks, Adam!)

I
could tell you all about this new Sharp SM-SX300-H amplifier's delta
sigma chips and 256-bit oversampling, or maybe regale you with stories
about its copper chassis, gold-plated connectors, and it's Ohms -- oh
lord, does it have Ohms -- but what you really are interested
in is the fact that it looks very shi shi and costs about $17,000.
Why? Because the inside is filled with solid gold pudding, and
developing non-conductive golden pudding is the sort of science that
doesn't come cheap.

Simpl A1 iPod amplifier
Simpl A1 iPod amplifier
03/23/2005 05:20 PMSimpl Acoustic's A1 high performance headphone amplifier is an audio
component designed to enhance the iPod user's experience by providing
the necessary power to support high-end headphones.
The A1 can be used to amplify any audio device with a stereo mini jack
connection to provide increased volume, better bass and refined
details though its amplification circuit that is specifically designed
with high impedance headphones in mind. It has a recharable lithium
ion battery that can be charged through USB port located on the side
of the device and by using the A1, iPod playtime is significantly
increased because a lower iPod volume setting saves battery life.
According to the company, the device should increase the iPod's
battery life by about 20%. Battery life for the device is listed at
16 hours with a 2 hour charge time.
Attaching securely to the iPod using podGrip technology, the A1 uses
Simpl technology that will not mark or scratch the iPod but anchors
the device onto the iPod for a stable, immovable hold. This strong
hold also makes the A1 slightly difficult to get off of the iPod.
The device features an audiophile-grade amplifier that provides deeper
bass and clearer highs for all headphones, and has enough power to
efficiently drive the "most demanding headphones." By using the
device, the iPod uses a lower volume setting that in turn gives the
iPod increased playtime and battery life.
To use the A1 it needs to first be fully charged through the computer
using the included USB cable. After charging, the volume of the iPod
must be completely lowered, then the A1 can be attached to the back of
the iPod. The mini cable can then be attached from the A1 audio-in
port to the iPod's headphone jack using the included cable.
Headphones can then be plugged into the A1 and it can be powered on
and used.
The A1 is compatible with all full-sized iPods but will not work with
the iPod mini. Because this amplifier has its own internal battery,
the A1 is a little bulky and heavy to carry around in addition to the
weight of the full-sized iPod. If the amp and iPod are being stashed
in a backpack then the extra bulk and weight isn't really noticeable
as it would be if it is jammed into a back pocket.
Spymac highly recommends Simpl's A1 to those looking for an iPod
amplifier who have high impedance headphones. The A1 can be purchased
for about $140 from MacMall, JR.com, Magnolia, ClubMac and Amazon.com.

Output Power: 0.5W

it is that he seems to wear quite a bit a red . It’s on his name,
it’s the color of his suspenders, his super mushrooms, his flag,
even his hat." He does kinda look like an 8-bit Stalin, but a
more important question must be asked: "

06/19/2004 01:25 AMSomeone just posted a track by the "Mario and Zelda Big Band" on a
private file-sharing site I'm on. This is a Japanese big band fronted
by a singer whose delivery reminds me of the frontwoman for Orquesta
De La Luz (my favorite Japanese salsa band), and backed by a huge horn
and winds section. They've got a CD of a live performance of music
from classic Nintendo games, with invented Japanese words and super
tight Latin jazz melodies. I've just ordered the scorchingly expensive
CD and while I wait for it to arrive, I guess I'll just keep this one
track in heavy rotation. It's fantastic.

Mario and Arnold
09/01/2004 12:40 AMOn the road in Boston, watching the Canada/US game on one TV and the
RNC on the other; they’re both pretty good entertainment, although
the RNC didn’t quite manage to top the venerable Mario Lemieux
wading into an astounded US player fists-first, I bet Mario was just
as surprised when he realized what he’d done. But that speech by
Arnold, that was something, I was totally impressed with the rhythm
and the flow and the complete command of the stage... hold on a
second. He’s saying that the Democratic convention should have been
called
True Lies after one of his movies. He’s citing
Nixon (“I am not a crook”) as a major influence. He’s saying
that people who disagree with his economic theories are “girlie
men”. This is vacuous slop. Hmmph, this calls for, via
Dave Sifry’s
