We sure wish we were in our hotel room in Denver putting together this RMAF 2019 post for you! Unfortunately, we were unable to make the trip due to Jack being sick, TMJ they think, but he hasn’t been able to talk above a whisper. We are, however, very glad to introduce our friend, and hopefully soon to be a regular member of our team, Ken Redmond, who is filling in by sending us some pictures so we can get up a few posts covering the show. We sure miss being able to tell you what the gear sounds like, however.
Vinnie Rossi and Mark Sossa of Well Pleased Audio Vida put together an impressive system for RMAF. You may remember they announced in July that Vinnie has transitioned to a dealer network in the United States and Mark is Vinnie Rossi’s sales representative for North America.
Besides the new relationship, there are a couple of products making their debut at RMAF 2019 that are pictured in the system pictured above that are worthy of celebrating. And, frankly, we hope to have the opportunity to audition both of these items in our home in the future.
L2 ‘Signature Edition’ Integrated Amplifier (L2i-SE)
Here, Vinnie, the rightfully proud papa shows off the L2 Signature Edition Integrated Amplifier sitting on the top shelf of this impressive rack of gear. The retail price is $18,995 US. An optional L2 DAC and an L2 Phonostage ($3,495 ea.) are also available. We’ve included a beauty shot below so you can get a better look.
Innuos Debuts PhoenixUSB Reclocker
Husband and wife team and co-founders of Innuos, Nuno Vitorino and Amelia Santos, were proud to debut their PhoenixUSB Reclocker. This reclocker is designed to be three separate components in one unit:

- An external master clock with its own linear power supply
And here’s a close-up view of this impressive new addition to the Innuos family.
