I just got back from the show where I got to see the new amp, which, as I posted on the Omega forum, looks every bit as good as the Clari-T sounds. It's a birdseye maple enclosure, two inputs with a selector switch and a sub out. And it has an absolutely gorgeous lighted voltage gage on the front panel. Driving Louis' Hemp speakers with my battery dac it made sweet, sweet music, impressing many a French-Canadian. I wasn't there the whole weekend, but I definitely predict that this will be the talk of the show. Oh, and pictures will follow, hopefully by tomorrow night.

Hi Gary,

It was very nice to meet you last weekend!  Thanks for posting about the new Lotus stereo integrated amplifier, and for bringing your battery powered DAC to the show.  Hell yeah, the Montreal show was very cool!   Louis' new 8" hemp speaker really dropped jaws with the Lotus.     We had a blast showing it off and meeting a bunch of people.  It didn't matter if we spoke French or not...once we let loose those dynamic test tracks, the system did all the communicating!  

When we mentioned that the power was only 6 watts, we receive plenty of these responses:              

I will post more information on my website shortly... I've been swamped with emails

That looks gorgeous, Vinnie!
Man, and I haven't had the chance to hear a ClariT yet, and you got me lusting for 'more'....

Hi Gary,

Thanks again for the great post and Montreal was a blast. It was great getting together and shaking the room with the Lotus. I had a terrific time.

Hi Vinnie,

This tube guy has got the digital bug. Amazing stuff.

Talk to you soon,
Louis

Vinnie & Louis

It was great getting to meet the two of you last weekend too, I was almost afraid I maid too much of a pest out of myself hanging around the room too long

Amazing work on the Lotus too, as I've said before it looks every bit as good as it sounds. If you guys come out with a model with an integrated battery dac & phono stage I'll almost definitely upgrade to it.
