Linus, his videos, and his voice are all banned from my house. How anyone could stand his videos enough--much less actually like them--to make him popular on YT is a mystery to me.

About Linus Tech Tips, how reliable are their tests of processing power and video cards? My impression was positive, but then I don't have any kind of background there apart from putting computers together (like most).
I'm not sure why Abyss is getting so much hate in this thread.
“Is that Arial Black?!”It's their font choices.

They selling a ss amp with huge amount of distortion and charge a premium for it. Sounds legitSome interesting copy on the page for that amp now (lets ignore the mangled spelling of connoisseur and the dubious use of "stout"). If we hooked this up to the analyser, reading this what do we think we would see? (Bold underlining is mine)
"A newcomer shows the world the true sound of music. Solid state dual mono amplifiers deliver stunning speed and clarity, with hard hitting bass and drums and beautifully smooth tube-like decay to cymbals and string instruments, on up beyond perception, the Formula S amp is tuned for the highest resolution music and headphones. Impeccable balance, smooth and clear to the source, excellent bass definition, simply put the dedicated headphone amp every conneseur seeks. And it's stout size takes up less real estate on your desktop.
Note from Joe@ABYSS:The Formula S amplifier was specifically designed for the ABYSS AB-1266 Phi and comes as a highly recommended mate to appreciate the headphones resolution and musical abilities. Given it's power and gain the Formula S will work it's magic on any full size high-performance headphone. The sonic signature of this amp can be best described as having a highly refined, detailed yet full sound with plenty of harmonic richness approaching that of a high performance tube amp without the heat. As amplifiers go, in my 30+ years in audio it's sonic signature is what everyone seeks as they spend too many years on the merry-go-round."
Well, its obviously a distortion box, and intentionally so. But also clear to the source??

Abyss seems focused on proclaiming they are the endgame and their marketing reflects that strongly.As amplifiers go, in my 30+ years in audio it's sonic signature is what everyone seeks as they spend too many years on the merry-go-round.
... and this post did not have the same purpose?I'm so happy for you guys having so great an opportunity to spout and make yourselves feel superior to somebody.
Hell yeah we're going to smack down a predatory audio company that specializes in duping its customers with badly designed headphones and no objective evidence to back up their claims.I'm so happy for you guys having so great an opportunity to spout and make yourselves feel superior to somebody. Rock on.
