Warm, musical, detail and liquid clear

not enough power to drive low efficent speaker

You can't buy any amp within $1000 has such wonderful sound quality, I can't believe what I heard after I set it up with my infinity RS-3A tower speaker, open, lovely, smooth, warm and detail sound, I will keep this small baby forever.

Great imaging, warmish sound, details

may have some problems with difficult speakers

Lovely amplifier, bought it with a Sugden Au41 preamp for only 800$! seems to me like a fantastic price for an ampifier this good. The Au41 doesn't quite keep up with it though and will be replaced in time. Value of course five stars, overall aswell! will keep this baby for a long time i think

This Class A amplifier is the best amplifier i have heard in the 1000$ price segment. It has a warm rich and open sound with a lot of air around the instruments. A fantastic amplifier if your looking for a bright and warm sound.

Detailed presentation without brittle or edgey sound. Relaxed and warm but transparent and large sound-stage

Needs fairly efficient speakers or smaller room

This is the answer for the audiophile who seeks a valve sound without the fuss and unreliability of fragile tubes. Significantly bettered by Sugden Masterclass, but that is at a higher price point.
