Summary:
This is the best amp I have ever heard. The emotional immediacy with the music is intense. Incredible speediness and amazing transparency. Also dead quiet, this quality makes a tremondous difference when comparing to other amps ss or tube, its astonishing. The bass is layered. Brass is wonderful, you feel the strings. Instruments are truly 3d.
Vocals are mesmorising. Plenty of power. Very romantic smooth seductive sounding amp.
This amp replaced the Graaf gm20 amp in my system and has made a huge difference, mostly with overall control and much more detailed. (the gm20 is very good but my speakers needed more power)
