RE: Pretty!

I am not a big drinker so generally I am more able to do the flavoured drinks like the Grape Jinro over the regular stuff. So in Singapore I quite enjoyed their famed Singapore Sling. Especially at the Raffi Hotel where it was invented.

Koreans can drink - I believe there is more soju sold in the world than Smirnoff Vodka and considering most of the world drinks Smirnoff and not Soju/Jinro then it illustrates how much Koreans pack it away.

Audio Note UK is made in England and the owner of the company, Peter Qvortrup, names all his amps in Japanese. So the Ongaku is Japanese and very expensive - when it came out in 1989 it was the most expensive amp out there I believe at $89,000. Then they made less expensive versions (same design same casework but less expensive parts. The Tomei is in the middle and since Peter liked Soju he named the entry level version of the three the Jinro. Entry level at $30k but anyway.

I have the OTO (at the time their entry level integrated) and there is a SORO, Kageki, Kegon, Baransu, Ankoru, Shinri, Kassei,Ginrei, and Gaku-On.

So Jinro is kind of the black sheep being named for a Korean drink.

I am a ways off being able to get into a Jinro or Tomei. And I still may opt for one of their other amplifiers. They kind of make a ridiculous number of power amps, mono-blocks, integrated amps and usually 3-9 versions of each one.

And when you see the bill you'll want to drink a case of Jinro! LOL.
