That level of performance and price is PRECISELY a novelty (PCMO).
It’s the literal definition.
Not new; they’ve been around as HPL for nearly 9 years, longer as a distributor.
Not strange; better.
Not a small, mass-produced article of little value (cheap). Instead, it’s the cream of the crop.
So, it’s literally not the definition of novelty. Niche, yes. But definitely not something you’d pick up anywhere for a couple of bucks, which is the way I read the definition of novelty.
