About Me: I'm just your average guy fresh out of college with a passing interest in audio fidelity. I'm NOT an audiophile, but I've got a little experience ranging from lower-end products to flagship designs. I tend to gravitate towards slightly warm sound signatures offering mildly mid-forward presentations. I don’t make professional reviews and by my own account, I’m not much good at describing what I hear either. But I’ll do my best and we'll just have to see how that goes. Introduction: Trinity Audio Engineering is a relatively new name in the...

Introduction: A few months ago, Monoprice released their multi-function amp for the budding audiophile looking for a classic tube sound. I say multi-functional because it includes Bluetooth! Standard RCA-in is great and all, but sometimes you just wanna connect it to your Spotify playlist running on your phone. You can plug in headphones or hook up speakers in the back as well, making it a great all-in-one choice for a desktop setup. It's at a fantastically low price considering what they tout it can do and it looks pretty nice. But how did they do...

It could sometimes be a little difficult to get a seal these. They're also not well-suited for deep insertion due to the bulky housings and the very sharp edges on said...
