Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $1100.00 from Rage Audio

Summary:
I integrated this amplifier into my Home Theatre system, last year. Initially, I was concerned about the seemingly low(ish) power output, but after a few hours listening, I was utterly beguiled. This thing ROCKS! Dynamics and micro-contrasts are beautifully and accurately rendered.

A stunning power amp. Easily worth double the money.

Strengths:
Awesome dynamics, power and control. Delicate, tube like mid and HF response. Incredible value for money. Seems capable of driving almost any loudspeaker, to satisfying levels.

Weaknesses:
Heavy. Wife hates the colour.

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
The ME550-II is a beautifully sounding AMP, much in the same vein as the now outdated ME150, but with less power up front.

Strengths:
Still a traditional ME, sweet sound, plenty of grunt when needed.

Weaknesses:
none that i could find.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
