The ebullient Ray Samuels had a new portable headphone amp, the $295 Emmeline Tomahawk, which was even smaller than his Emmeline Hornet. What differentiates the new one, other than size? "It's designed to drive in-ear personal monitors," Ray said. "And, with two AAA batteries, it'll run for 8 hours a day for 48 days!" Fit'n'finish are, as usual for Ray, milspec.
Original Electronics had an impressively turned out amp in the Master (get it, Original Master). It looked sharp and had an external power supply the size of a brick. When I asked AAA Audio's Ping Gong what it cost, he thought I was asking about the headphones I was listening to. "They're pretty good for something so cheap," he said. How cheap? "I think they're about $350." I pointed to the Master—that's $350?
