Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $175.00 from secondhand

Summary:
This is very good sound, if not high end. There are lots of control options, which I have not been able to use fully. But it has functions to really control the sound. Or better the direct signal path [which I mostly use] gives very detailed presentation.
If you are building up from an modest integrated to a split system this is a good way to go. That is what I did.
To better this sound would take MUCH more money.

Strengths:
clear, detailed, sweet sound.

Weaknesses:
unable to get manufacturer's instructions, so may not be using to optimum potential.

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
A lot of features, some very interesting :
- Phono MM and MC, pF selectable
- Tone controls with selectable freq. : you can easily correct the response of other components.
- A lot of inputs, 3 loops
And, despiter all these and a moderate price, the sound is really good ! Not the last word in quietness, but quiet enough. And very, very musical : neutral, soft, detailed, dynamic ! If you can find one used, a bargain.
Was "Class C" in Stereophile. For me, it is between Class B and C for the sound, with a wonderful flexibility.

Strengths:
Features ; Sound for the price

Weaknesses:
Plastic knobs, no remote control, a few "gadgets"
