A couple of things I enjoyed about Bob Sattin's demo:
1. His little step-up transformers are even more adorable than I'd realized, enhanced now with black powder coated chassis and a refined, laser-etched logo. The little boxes remind me of vintage analog effects pedals. Too cool.
2. Sattin was using an old Yamaha PX2 linear tracking turntable (awesome), along with a Jasmine Serenade Mini Tube amplifier and Shanling PH300 headphone amplifier, and Sennheiser HD600 headphones"Just whatever I could bring," said Boba system with personality and soul, and one which made sweet music. The sound of music played through a Koetsu Rosewood Signature phono cartridge and Sattin's Sowter 1:20 step-up transformer was invitingly smooth, rich, fleshy, and detailed.
