So I have a question. I am currently reviewing the Blue Circle Audio "Hat Peed Thingee" headphone amp. It is built into PVC pipe, and the internals are 100% encased on silicon. None of the parts, or the circuit, will ever be visible to anyone, and I very highly doubt that BCA is going to reveal either.
The amp will sell for between $550 and $1,150 depending on some upgrade options.
My question is, will this amp, and its maker, be subject to the same criticism? In this case it is very clear than as little of the cost as possible was spent on aesthetic considerations, however, there is no way to judge the amp based on it's circuit or parts. So does it deserve the same criticism?
