It’s actually all tubes. They have the hybrid line but this is all tubes. I just spaced the Fortes about 15’ apart and toed them inwards and it sounds incredible. You can definitely feel the heat coming off the tubes. I looked at the 400 and it has 8 EL84 tubes as opposed to my 4. Apparently you don’t need heat in the winter if you’re listening on the regular. Next up is a proper audio rack but most of them are so damn ugly or crazy expensive.
Anytime Novak gets a little momentum or break or anything, Sinner comes right back. No soul searching, no wound licking. Novak gave it all in the 2nd and Sinner had answers. See how it goes from here.
Really was enjoying watching Musetti. Bummer he had to retire. But man, Sinner looks unstoppable. Kinda reminds me of Novak but with more power. Terrifying.
Yeah a friend had some Heresy and I was as into the general vibe. For good measure I went to a hifi shop here in the city and listened to the Fortes. He was driving them with a Lab12 tube amp and it was really nice. He let me listen to some Borreson x1, driven by an insane system, and it was mind blowing - Bookshelf sized speakers and it was literally a wall of sound, but super articulated, analytical. Fun for a little while but also exhaustive listening.
