I absolutely love this amplifier to start. All I can say is that all the tones are very balanced. The highs are crystal clear and the lows are perfect with almost no distortion. Even cranked to the max volume this amp is flawless sounding. It’s very well constructed and quite heavy. She is loaded with quality nichicon capacitors. I had a peek under the hood and this amp just screams high quality. You truly get your money’s worth with this amplifier. It has a great look to it, with beautiful curves and subtle matted champagne color paint. Definitely not your typical boxy tube amplifier.The meter has a beautiful orange glow that’s easy on the eyes. At 30 watts per channel it produces great sound and plenty of power for my bookshelf speakers. It’s a real joy to listen to and the best sounding amplifier I own. I upgraded the tubes to all JJ brand amp tubes and further enhanced the sound. That also made a huge difference. I would make the purchase again and look forward for I many years of listening to this gorgeous amplifier.

The factory was tubes were good but not great. It’s not hard to upgrade though and many companies make good replacement tubes that will fit this product. Like any tube amp it produces a lot of heat. You need a open area to use the amp safely. It’s very heavy. To be honest not really any big negatives with this product.
