Things to Know

  • No remote control or tone controls; purely utilitarian.
  • High continuous power draw (approx 60-80W) regardless of volume due to Class A topology.
  • Input sensitivity is low; requires a source with a strong output voltage (2V+) to reach full volume.

Reviews

Smooth and fast with excellent layering/separation. Good soundstage, though not much depth. I can happily listen to it all day... It's actually a very well made amp. The fit and finish are truly excellent.

StereoNET Forum (orcker)

I find the lack of punch soothing and relaxing, pleasant even! This is the amp you'd want to listen to if you want to fall asleep and I say it as a compliment!
