I've been away from the headphone and amp world for a while and noticed that Go-Vibe amps are still being made and I wondered if these are the same as the ones made by Norm from a few years back?

they look similar, but seem to only be available from Hong Kong (I think?) which leads me to believe they're not the same as the ones Norm used to make since he's in the US.

Can anyone give me the rundown on quality, etc. for this new Go-Vibe series of amps, and what may have happened to Norm and his Go-Vibes?

Not built by Norm anymore, the name got sold off to Jaben, a reputable store in Singapore, and they should be completely new designs, if I recall correctly. Quality is excellent, owned one of the initial amps (Go-Vibe Petite).

As said before, Norm retired and sold the brand to Jaben. I only have the Go-Vibe USB DAC and the Derringer but I did play with the Petite and Martini before. They all seen very well built as far as I can tell.
