Speaking of this, someone missed the point of my joke thinking I was insulting painters. There is this saying that engineers are left brain people (analytical) and creative people are right brain (creative). So I postulated that if you shake someone's brain enough, the two sides can exchange positions!@amirm who's to say engineer's brains aren't jumbled compared to painters'?
Hey, it's not that bad, and I'm 44! I think this headphone amp has got a bit of an 80's American look to it (the font certainly, maybe some other parts).The same nerds that just can't get enough of RGB LEDs in their gaming pooders. My 13yo son just bought RGB RAM and an RGB PSU for his his new gaming pooder build, to go with his RGB mouse and Keyboard...
The Geshelli products are just hilarious. No mature grown adult would put them in a HiFi system. Maybe on Billy-Bob's 16yo computer desk, in Mom's dank basement, perhaps. Nasty cheap extrusion, perspex end caps and arguably the most putrid implementation of controls I have ever seen. Just horrible in every respect, and a very, very, marginal step above the CNC perspex boxes all over eBay for "makers" and "hobbyists".
Anyone can put a quality performing line stage in a horrible box. It's not a big ask. Why people would clamour to buy such a hideous thing is beyond me. Buy the Topping, any Topping, for goodness sake. At least they tried.

You are guaranteed to hear what is in the recording, no ifs and buts.

How difficult would it be to open the enclosure and solder in a better pot? How much would a quality potentiometer cost?Or just buy/specify better pots in the first place. The ones they use are bottom of the barrel.
It's just another case of an otherwise excellent performing product, let down by cost cutting with the part that gets used the most (the volume pot). When will these people learn?
And, excellent review @amirm
In the context of a twenty thousand dollar music streamer named after a pink goat-man, this little Geshelli is looking pretty good! LOL

Yes please, on both Amir!Awesome review. Can't wait to see the day you check out the Geshelli Erish or the Geshelli Jnog
And what's so wrong with nerds. We tend to be the ones in management positions, investors, or above. It's the people who shame them that tend to work for us.

Heck, nothing. Being a card carrying nerd, I feel qualified to comment on our brethren.And what's so wrong with nerds.
Restorer-john comment was a cynical comment, and maybe, even, to some extent, judgemental, but yours was condescending, and I mean not even subtle in no wayAnd what's so wrong with nerds.

Honestly I'm not trying to be subtle. One thing I learned in life is that it's ok for people to treat a person bad, belittle, bully, or anything of that nature. The instant the person does anything back to the one who started it and they are the one in the wrong. That is the norm and I don't agree with that way of thinking. Treat people right and they would have no reason to do anything back in the first place.Restorer-john comment was a cynical comment, and maybe, even, to some extent, judgemental, but yours was condescending, and I mean not even subtle in no way
Look, I'm a Nerd too, I am in a leadership role too, yeah maybe, the term Nerd is pejorative, and triggered you, but to me he was making fun of the design of the product in a colorful way and not "treating a person bad" This is a place where products get criticized, but also a place where products get exposure, , and in this case, arguably the performance is good, the industrial design is bland and utilitarian if we want to be nice, and arguably, "from a nerd who just care about electronics", depending from who it come from, and the various diplomacy of the person who comment.. Now, yes especially, from people in management position and considers themselves leaders, and proud of it, considering some position "above", using "work for us" instead of work with us, well, I can't speak from everyone, but I certainly wouldn't work for you. Sorry, on this there is no compromise in my views.Honestly I'm not trying to be subtle.

I'm not management anymore. When I'm giving someone a paycheck. They work "for me". Enough said.

Edit: This will hopefully be my only political comment, but Your comment was political, I come here to talk audio, end yes I think it's ok to be opinionated, but about audio, and audio products. Restorer-John, commented 5000 times, you have 8...
