The reason I am the first to review is probably because everyone that owns one wants to buy another one and wants to keep the prices down. Clear, powerful, sounds good. And thats coming through a rotel pre-tuner that isnt that great with a onkyo dx-7555 cd player and tannoy m5's. Lookikng forward to experimenting with different speakers and has urged me to buy a decent pre. My previous poweramp was a pioneer reference (m-90 i think) which is awesome, but I think this is better. Will update once I get a better pre, but the clarity and power is amazing. Details, bass, soundstage are all really good and I am afraid I would have to spend thousands to get more.
