Bottom Line:
These are the attributes I hear from this amp in my system:
Lively and entertaining integrated amp.
Full bodied sound with a rich midrange.
Smooth tube-like sound, yet with excellent clarity and detail.
Revealing of the room environment and air within the recording.
Full articulate bass.
Above average sound for its miniscule price.
