Aura Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 aesthetically i'm not amazed; the uncovered trafo's don't really fit with the rest of the look. the front faceplates are pretty good though and black is always a winner. at least we've got one new big toy for CJ .

909 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 it looks like a hybrid of sorts -- rs audio (knobs and switches), ec (black and industrial), and ha (gs-1 chassis). and why so many different colored lights, almost like christmas lights. the overall look isn't so bad, and much better than the 307A, which seemed straight up 70s styling. i wonder who is going to shell out $10K for it... the guts from todd's site: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) ...... is that an RK27 in a $10,000 amp? [EDIT] The description says it has got a DACT, so I don't think the internal photo is of the flagship Pinnacle. It might be of the Apex Peak instead, listed here.

I don't think the internal photo is of the right amp. see for yourself (the heart and soul of the Pinnacle), scroll down, last photo. APEX Pinnacle [Pinnacle] - $10,000.00 : TTVJ, Home of High End Audio even the power supply guts seem to match the chassis.

Beefy Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Sorry, as per my edited edit: The description says it has got a DACT, so I don't think the internal photo is of the flagship Pinnacle. It might be of the Apex Peak instead, listed here, which does claim to have an RK27. Todd has just got the pics messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 It just does not seem wide enough and does not match up with the cased Pinnacle pics. Where are the other two tube sockets? How come the power umbilical is too close. Also, the Pinnacle has moar knobs than that thing has on the front. It must be a mixup with pics of the Peak. EDIT: Todd confirms that is the Peak and its power supply. He is correcting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 looking at it a bit closer, i think you're spot on Al. someone should tell todd asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 It's fixed. He doesn't have internal shots for the Apex but he moved them to the Peak page Beefy linked above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 why not just call it Top Top? who is coming up with these fucking names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 who is coming up with these fucking names? I'm pretty sure that it was two smart, successful guys. I'm also pretty sure that it didn't take a rhodes scholar to come up with Capitole or Prima. Better question, who gives a fuck what it's called?

Asr Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The Pinnacle looks cool but the cost is way out of reach. The Peak, on the other hand, is something that I will probably end up buying. I like its dimensions, the footprint of a piece of typing paper! Peak + Volcano = so good it'll make your brain asplode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 if RSA came out with an amp called "The Awesome Cool," i would buy that right away FIFY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 clearly me and youNo, I don't care what it's named. i think an even better question is why are you getting pissy about it? Because you're being a whiny bitch about it and Capt. Eddie Current is feeding off you whining. Basically I get the sense that Pete and Todd can do no right in most of your eyes (not directed at you Jacob). Am I fan of their work, clearly, I make no secret about that.

Voltron Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 clearly me and you. i think an even better question is why are you getting pissy about it? if RSA came out with an amp called "The Awesome Cool," i doubt you'd be the white knight of names. I don't like their naming convention either, but I am guessing Nate's reaction has something to do with the fact that Todd and Pete are Awesome Cool dudes who make fantastic products but cannot seem to catch a break. Many people, myself included, think that the TTVJ 307A is one of THE BEST sounding dynamic amps but they sold a handful while people moaned about the looks generally or really important shit like the multi-colored type on the selector switches. Neither Nate nor I would try to tell you to like it or only say nice things about it, but this is a huge product announcement for people I like and if Nate is anything like me I wouldn't mind if there was a little bit of honeymoon glow allowed. EDIT: oops, didn't mean to speak for you or step on your lines either, Nate, but we seem to be on the same [fanboy] page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 i see. new rule, everybody, from now on you can't make a negative comment about a product name or aesthetics unless you understand that you might be labelled a whiner by The Adjudicator Judge.Oh boo fucking ho. I thought that part of what was expected here was to call someone out when they have an unnecessary hair across their ass? welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin. Hi reflection, how are you today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I kind of like everything I've seen today, peak, apex, zenith, or whatever it is. It all looks like its capable of making music. I'm financially kind of 'spartan' right now, but I'd jump at a cave-only apex w/ intro price of the peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 i don't remember deleting your posts or telling you to shut up.Do you see me doing either? You're going way over the top with your commentary, I don't care that it's you (although I generally expect more out of you), I just don't feel compelled to sit idly by and watch it. Product names generally are not great, they just are what they are and rarely matter, right? As for thinking it looks like crap, that's your call, I think your taste sucks but I'm not going to debate it with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefy Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Make love, not war! Just for the love of god, PLEASE don't post any fucking pictures of it. I think the name is stupid, and personally prefer the look of the old 307A...... but the proof is in the listening; I'd bet a testicle it sounds fantastic. We all know that is the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
