Cohiba Brand

Health Care has been a big issue, recently. In the US, they have the VA.



Here's one for the Cruises. We recommend Nordst Line. Norwegian Cruise Lines, NCL. You can see the pleasure they provide.

We occasionally get some posts via Touch of Modern®.

Rhino VA-1 // Vintage Tube Pack

Here's the Rhino-VA1. Shan Hai Trading. With a little off the back, they could make great book-ends.

Should you be a fan of Lou Vuitton you could take a VA1 with you.

They'd look great on the other video owner's shelf. We'd like to see MM1's there, also. The look for the desk is spectacular. [$599.00 USD]



Product: Bryston BHA-1 Headphone Amplifier

Total Points: 64/200

You can fault the Bryston for not being up to the technical standards of the Schitt Mjolinr ($749.00 USD).
As a review's tool, however, it's unparalleled. It has both unbalanced and balanced output (though it's unbalanced inside), and, despite the poor value (you can't use it to test DA converters) and long aesthetics, it's a brick. With a device like the Oppo HA-1 ($1199.00 USD), you can't sell luxury, exclusivity and the add-on, despite it being a superior infinite+ product.

It makes the Aedele VK-1's sound good, which is hard thing to make happen.

We like the Bryston, from the face of the product.

Price: $1395.00 USD
Value: 24/100
Sound: 40/100

It's a little less than a box of Cohiba Robustos Supremos (we couldn't resist).


+ On infinity. Bryston supplies a 20 year warranty. We're unaware of the MTBD (Mean Time Between Death) of the Oppo HA-1 headphone amplifier. Assuming 30 minutes / day, there are 11.2 MHz * 3600 or 40.03B "choices" per day (or 14.610T△ per year), not accounting for use of the controls on the Oppo HA-1 at DSD 256. We're unaware of the stochastic nature of music. Adjusting for 32-bit / 384 kHz (the proper choice) there are 1.5903074829931972789115646258496T values on the Oppo HA-1*.

△For most people, 1T is ample feeling of infinity [non-cosmological] in number, however $10,000T may suffice for world-affair.

*32-bit / 384 kHz =  48 kHz base * 8 =  16x Digital Audio Tape [DAT] data-rate.
  DSD 256 = 256 CD sample rate, however 1-bit. There for 16x CD data-rate.
