Summary:
Exceptional build quality from the rca's, to the volume pots to the chassis. This is a product you could use for years without worries of failure.
Not a typical tube sound; the ATC 3 won't add syrup to your system. It will provide very nice clarity in a very slightly "up front" sound - it is inaccurate to call it bright, it is just a vibrant, vivacious product. A little thick on the upper end, and lacked transparency when compared to the Lamm LL2, but it has a single volume pot and two more input options than the LL2

Strengths:
Clarity, drive, full bass. Will not wear over time.

Weaknesses:
Bass may be a little full. Lacks the transparency of some preamps at its price range.
