Spotlight: Sonic Impact T-Amp Madness!!!

What?!? You've never heard of the Sonic Impact T-Amp? Well, for those who aren't familiar with the T-Amp phenom, this Spotlight is for you. Priced at $30 or so, the SI is a tiny little battery powered amp pumping out a massive 6 watts. Made for cheapo speakers, the Sonic Impact wasn't born to be a contender. But for some reason beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals, the SI T-amp sounds amazingly good.

Don't believe me? Check out the next page for all the goods on the deal of the century and how you too can get involved in the T-amp revolution.

Spotlight: Pass Labs Amplifiers

Our first Spotlight will focus on Pass Labs and their glorious amps. Pass Labs is one of the keystone solid state amplifier manufactures along with Krell and Mark Levinson and, unlike the other two, goes against the grain of what to expect from solid-state amp design by championing lusciousness, warmth and other tube-like qualities. And, as you can see, Pass Labs sports some of the finest industrial design around.

Keep reading for the rest on Pass Labs and a roundup of past reviews.

Announcement: SonicFlare Spotlight on Manufactures

As you know, or are just finding out, the world of high-end audio and video is a sprawling mess of reviews, equipment and a whole lot of BS. As such, we've decided to launch a new Spotlight series of posts in addition to coverage of new products and reviews.

A Spotlight post will highlight a particular manufacture and offer a bit of insight as to where the company stands relative to competitors, what the company is known for and provide links to recent reviews. For large manufactures with multiple product lines, the Spotlight will only focus on one area.

And, like everything on SonicFlare, the Spotlight posts will be pinnacles of rampant, unfounded opinion. So use with caution. If you want the manufacture's air-conditioned statements or the opinion of a person who has actually listened to the gear, click the links provided at the end of the Spotlight posts. Otherwise, enjoy our inane ramblings as we bring you the latest and greatest from the world of audio and video and set you on your way towards sonic nirvana.
