Summary:
I've had my Rocket for 5 years plus and luv it. Ulltimately it does not get better than this unless you spend 20k. It rocks and dances so well you have to keep listening until the cows come home. I use a Audio Research Sp-9mk3 with KEF 105's and B&W 805 Matrixs and an old Entec sub that refuses do die. Bloom and inner detail are every day facts in this system. The Linn Lingo turntable Grado Sonata does'nt hurt either.

Strengths:
Reliable, detail and blooming. Why roll the tubes when the original tubes work just fine thankyou.......Bass oh yeh, Highs like mescaline.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Similar Products Used:
Sp-16 and Threshold s-300.
