New Sensations Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm keen to hear one of these here Virtue Sensation amplifiers: http://www.coemaudio.com.au/Amplifiers/Integrated-Amplifiers/286/ Does anyone in Sydney own one that could listen to perhaps? Or maybe someone further afield would care to comment on its sound? Thanks in advance (and all that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Sensations Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 "Chip in a cheeky one?". Say what? You coould just chip in a cheeky one and we can have a gtg down there in Zetland, I've wanted to hear one too..., I'll bring some beers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Sensations Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Maybe I could ask Johnny Coem to send me one on trial and then a GTG in Zetland would be suitably appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A J Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 'Chì? - ?? - â - c?éé?Ÿ' is a kiwi colloquialism or "slang" for "sneak another piece of kit in before the wife notices". The phrase has some other uses, such as in the pub this term might be used to describe the purchase of another round of tequilas, when plainly there have already been enough rounds.

vmhf Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yes, I need another amp for my guest toilet downstairs I realized... ....and I'm pretty sure I can corale danter and vmhf into the GTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Sensations Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Running them in this week, vmhf. Let's get together next week for a proper listen. The Sensational is already showing signs of being...err...sensational. I want to find the "catch" with this amp. How can something that uses Tripath chips sound so good? I am hoping that ZB might elucidate on the "pitfalls" of Class D (and Tripath). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A J Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I am already thinking this and the audio piano matched with my cheeky paradigm atoms would make a sensational little setup not that I need another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Sensations Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hey AJ, if possible, I'd like to include you in our little GTG.....I'll PM you when I have clearer idea of when and where.

Grainy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I thought you were going cold turkey?? I think you are addicted long-time So if audio gear is JD's drug, does that mean Johnny Coem is his dealer (Then that means we're his "enablers") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A J Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 So if audio gear is JD's drug, does that mean Johnny Coem is his dealer (Then that means we're his "enablers") Based on the way I have to launder my hifi funds and sneak stuff into the house, I may as well have a drug habit !!

rantan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Sounds like a great GTG. Pity I am stuck in Adelaide. It will definitely be interesting for you guys to compare the merits of the VS as opposed to the Bel Canto, not sure if there will be a BC there on the night/day, but it would be well worth a comparison if anyone still has one . Aplologies if the BC 300iu is sooo last year:D Have fun guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
