This amplifier defies convention. It is detailed, dynamic and images like a beast. The best qualities of tubes and transistor amps. Biasing is a breeze (I hate biasing amps) and I'm not surprised they stopped making it, it's good enough to take anyone off the upgrade merry go round. I've used it with S.A.P. Sonora Reference Monitors, Hartley Holton Towers, Diatone 610Ma in Wood B. Lansing BR cabinets and it has performed admirably on all counts with all of them, regardless of source, be it analog or digital. Responds excellently to tube upgrades, I am now listening to it with Baldwin 12AU7's and Current production TFK's.

No longer made, case seems to be sunken in due to transformer weight, it came that way. If it had a phono in and headphone output It would be the perfect component.
