Clearly impressively built kit, but as ever I can’t help watch it with my Green/Right To Repair hat, and I’m not really liking what I see. To my mind as a vintage/classic audio buyer an amplifier is a fundamentally simple thing, it’s job is clearly defined, the technology has existed for a century of more in most respects. Here I’m seeing excessive material use (I’ve never bought into ‘more is better’), bespoke displays, bespoke logic chips, firmware etc in everything, even things like power amps. I’d not want to service one in 25, 50 or more years time, and from my perspective if that doesn’t look possible then I take issue with the fundamental design concepts. I want things to be serviceable even if the manufacturer is long gone by the time it breaks.
PS Whilst I’m commenting on an advertorial video about CH Precision my point isn’t intended to single them out. This is a fundamental failure across the modern audio market. I accept certain components need computer industry design and construction techniques, e.g. streamers, DACs etc, but I still feel green sustainable long-life build is possible with legacy tech such as amplifiers, phono stages etc. I can maintain the kit I choose to use myself as it is all simple and so well documented (all my amplifiers came from the factory with service schematics etc).
