Maybe we could send Bumtell on an information gathering junket. No return ticket mind.
I guess they would still have tinternet over there.
Thatās him. Iām sure he posted a picture of that organ on the wam.
Even blow up dolls have some standards
Rly, rly like both of these

Iām sure @ICHM would tell me thatās theyāre both āclass D shiteā but I donāt care.
The Moon is only 50w, but theyāre very nice watts.
The Moon has much betterer digital connectivity and does all the streaming mullarkey, which the Gato doesnāt. But would I actually use the streaming? Iām pretty wedded to Sonos, and if I wasnāt Iād probably end up with a NUC running whatever I fancied instead of āhi fiā streaming.
The Moon is unheard-of on eBay, and while itās more expensive, retail has recently gone up from Ā£2800 (which seemed achievable) to Ā£3300 (bastards!).
I dunno.
And if I was single or had a shed Iād be having this

Heard the Moon at Munich, it really is a phenomenal piece of kit even with the price hike (and lets face it, thatās mostly due to Brexit voting morons, not Moon).
I only saw it briefly in Munich, but spent a very long time with it at the Indulgence Show (stoopid name) in London towards the end of last year.
As I said, only 50 watts, but theyāre very good watts - the guy from Renaissance Audio had it plugged into a pair of these
for an extremely simple but superb-sounding system. Not a passive pre-amp or SUT in sight
Nothing wrong with Class-D imo though Iām sure there are good and bad implementations just like with valves or solid state.
I have heard the Gato several times and really liked it, as well as Nuforce, Bel Canto and Kharmaā¦
There is an even nicer Gato 150 amp on there that isnāt Class D if you can afford it.
Golly, thatās quite a thing

I wonder which came first, the Dan DāAgostino or the Gato

OK - the DD is considerably more Captain Nemo, but IMO thereās an undeniable similarity.
That is Hideous.
Where do the beans go? Should that not be in the coffee thread?
Orgasmatron
Room heaters
I love that he needs to use arrows in the photos. The are not exactly blend into the decor amps.
Thatās awesome.
For the avoidance of doubt: THIS HUGE BLACK THING HERE, and THIS HUGE BLACK THING OVER HERE
Have never heard of these but they look interesting from the description on the manufacturers website.
Some off the wall ugly speakers
I think barge pole is appropriate here.
I heard those RMB22/3 at that very show, they were erā¦not very good at all letās sayā¦
