Should I change the title to "Cohesive conversation, potentially subject to expansive topic exploration pertaining to portable hifi"
Would it be okay for us to keep talking to each other, then?

In your opinion, can't I have an opinion that differs from your opinion? In my opinion, I more than can. And we also have differing opinions on the idea that we are supposed to lay down and accept each others opinions in silence.
I think our opinions are intimately doomed to fail with each other, quspycakes
Maybe this is all just my opinion, though
Here is something of conversational importance - Behold!
Now that's a small amp.
My thoughts on it when I first saw it (earlier tonight) were mixed. It's tiny in every dimension. Surely weighs nothing. And Flywheel design is an obvious plus for a portable amp as far as theory that involves it actually being portable goes.
But, it's ins and outs are on the side of it as it'd run parallel underneath your player.. which is sure to lead to a somewhat awkward and vulnerable placement of the LOD or mini-to-mini used.
What really strikes out for me, though, is this: Look at the amp design. Despite the feat of minimal size - how far off are we now from an iPod's amp? No doubt this sounds better, but by how much? I mean, there's probably three forths of a square inch of amp circuitry, the rest is battery, flywheel volume control and signal paths.
Edit: and a baby gain switch etc hanging out in the corner there
Is it even worth upgrading from the iPod (or other) amp in such a small manner?
It's $100, and it surely sounds worse than their
Minibox F which sells for $69. So you have something quite obviously less than a $69 portable amp's performance. And that $69 amp also includes an AC charger, a USB cable, a leather carrying case and a mini-to-mini cable - keep this in mind when considering what's left to be payed for out of the Minibox F that trumps the $100 tinypie.
Well, it's more convenient to me, it must be worth more, even though the components are fewer, on a board smaller, in an enclosure smaller!
Everything about this is illlllllogical.
Have I made the trend clearer for anyone?
