I bought this amp from a Pawn Shop. I loved it at first site but found out its from Europe and there's no way i can plug it into my wall it needs 220v and north american standards are 110v. I bought it anyway for $200.00 Canadain and bought myself a 300watt converter. It converts 110v to 220v. It cost me 50 bucks. I hooked it up to my Infinity speakers and it was real clear right up to 3/4 of the volume knob. I like this amp alot and think its a great amp for the money. It has great detail but lacks a bit of bass. No loudness button thank god cause its a waste of space on an amp of this quality :) I had it hooked up to a Sony Playstation as my cd player and was great untill i heard the difference when i bought a Marantz CC-45 Cd player! What a difference! I give this amp 4 stars cause it could push out a bit more power cause i love music loud... but if i needed it for quality listening i would give it 5!
