The T1 is more portable, but it is long discontinued.

How do you think the storm will work with jazz or acoustic music?


I think it would work fine. It's pretty neutral.

It's been so long since I reviewed the T1 I really can't say.

I wouldn't bother with the T1 really.

It hisses for one, and there's a channel imbalance issue with a lot of them, which results in the right channel being 3dB louder than the left.

To top that off, the amp is not shielded fromRF interference, so you must prepare for a lot of incoming static if you use it in an area where a lot of RF activities take place.

It sounds pretty neutral, but congested as well, not very dynamic, and it lacks headroom.

The only thing it really has going for itself IMO is it size/thickness.

Personally, I found the Fiio and the average Cmoy running (The one I loaned then was running on OPA2227, I don't know anything else about it) to be a 'better' amps compared to the T1 based on a performance standpoint.
