Lol right. On the Tesla tech, I cannot comment as i've not heard results in person. I do own a good number of amps incl: solid state transistor, Class D, Class D/ Class A hybrid, Tube (valves), and Triode Tube/ Solid State hybrid monos. They all 'sound' different to me and my lady. Some excel in the PRaT department - as boogie machines, while others are more detailed. Some are exceptional at creating a huge wide soundstage. The best has most all and sacrifices little.
The Axxess Forte 1 being discussed here is an integrated amp with DAC and streamer. I own several DACs; ladder resister, and Delta Sigma. Most recently I purchased the EverSolo DMP-A6 Signature streamer with inbuilt DAC. That's a great product which I feel is goid value, but its internal DAC is still outclassed by other standalone DACs I have. I have an Oppo 205 also, which garnered an excellent result on Amir's test bench.
Understanding the limitations of YouTube, and in consideration that some videos use very good mics while others just dobthe iPhone recording, I can definitely hear what I would consider a very good presentation from the Axxess Forte 1, despite listening through airpods on my iPad or alternatively, my Sennheiser HD650 or HD750, or Oppo 'phones through my Oppo portable headphone amp HPA2.
I know that the circle of 'reviewers' on YouTube have essentially become shills that coordinate together sometimes, which creates suspicion as to whether the results are as good as they profess.
It would be cool if Amir put this integrated amp through its paces to see if there is any truth to some reports of the Axxess Forte's excellent performance for the money. On that point, I think some of these reviewers are completely divorced from reality. $5,500 for example, for most folks is a LOT of money when one has bills to pays and a family to support. Not saying its not worth it, just that it shouldn't be positioned as this fabulously cheap bargain. Its not cheap. Today I ran into and watched an Absolute Sound video on Michael Fremer's crazy expensive system. That guy is off his trolley in a sense. The esoterica he reviews is only available to a very small, very wealthy segment of the population. Therefore completely irrelevant to almost everyone on earth.
