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!”
