What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE?

@jriggy I have absolutely no idea if this is true or not, but with the offer of such a long warranty for original owners, I suspect there's some wiggle room for second owners... especially if the problem clearly isn't due to bouncing around during shipping.  I could easily imagine someone with a 5-year old unit they'd owned for a couple years being granted service if a part burned out in course of every day use.

@cal3713 and with Vinnie being as nice and cool as he is, I wouldn’t be surprised either. You don’t always find a designer/manufacture who will do custom requests, so I can easily see someone as engaged as Vinnie is/was (when his forum was open) being fair like that. I’ve seen that with with other cool owner/designers too. 

Also, if something came loose during shipping, it's likely any competent local tech could solve it for less than shipping. Not great for your audio ocd, but probably cheaper and safer than the shipping trip.

If someone has an L2i SE or L2 Signature preamp with DAC that they'd like to sell, please PM me.  They've become unobtainium but as Vinnie just released his Brama line today, maybe owners of the L2 may decide to sell theirs.

Yes the Vinnie Rossi "Brama" line has launched today. I am not sure at this point if I like the looks of the new models.

I am very happy with my Vinnie Rossi L2iSE integrated, plus you get to look at the 300b tubes glowing.

Is the new Brama worth the $20,000 upgrade, time will tell.....

 I may upgrade my Linn Klimax DSM digital streamer first, to the new Linn Organic dac, which is suppose to be sublime sounding.
My present Klimax DSM Katylist dac is quite exceptional sounding now since I added an Uptone Audio EtherRegen network switch connected with an external After Dark clock.

I like my system now! Sometimes its good to leave things alone when you get that synergy with your system......

I'll have to audition the Brama line when my dealer gets one in though!
