They remind me a bit of Luxury & Precision’s approach, incredibly natural high performing analog sound, where- again- sound performance is by far the main priority and the rest a distant second thought. The Brise house sound is decidedly transparent, extremely resolving and natural, with a slightly modern approach to pure copper tonalities. Even Brise’s portable Head-fi cables are extraordinarily expensive, but well worth it I can attest. I’m sure they sounds ridiculous, I’m far too poor for those gems. Brise also makes a bunch of Hi-Fi 2-channel audio products like interconnects, speaker cables and power cables, but the prices will make you wince and cry. Remember that relentless pursuit of perfection? See a need, fill a need, sometimes the results are better than anything you’ve ever heard. It was so good they decided to sell it, much to all our benefit. The Tsuranagi is their first foray into amplifiers, supposedly born from needing an amp in house for testing cables and sussing out problems. The very well reviewed Yatono Ultimate 8 Wire cable is a good example of this - it is one of the best sounding cables I have ever heard, but the ergo and comfort leave a lot to be desired for many - divisive for sure. Their gear is usually back-ordered for months, they are a small operation so you’ll be paying upfront and waiting. The Brise philosophy seems to be sonics above all else, even scrimping on cosmetics and usability in the relentless pursuit of audio perfection. Everything is discrete utilitarian only and matte black, it’s nice to see an audio brand not focusing on splashy shiny stuff for a change. I understand why, their attention to detail and unflinching sonics are deservedly impressive. This is a full borne A+ hype fever that seems to be infecting audiophiles everywhere. Somehow they flew under the radar for many, but now the cat is out of the bag and everyone is scrambling to get anything with Brise written on it. For those of you not in the know, Brise is a Japanese company who have been around for quite some time, but have become much more popular in the west over the past year or so. ![]() Big things do indeed come in small packages! Sneak peek, a teaser before we get to the end you ask? I’m in love, this amp is incredible. I am extremely excited to share my impressions and experiences with you all - this amazing little box is stellar. Greetings dear audiophiles, and welcome to my review of the Brise Tsuranagi portable amplifier. ![]()
