This wonderful integrated amplifier is the only solid state piece that I have been able to love in my 30 years in this hobby. Excellent reviews abound, including ongoing status as a Class A Stereophile rated component.It has a glowing presence that comes quite close to the best SET amps that I have owned, while being able to drive real world speaker loads. It is a match made in heaven for my 88db ASA Pro Monitors. It throws a wide and deep soundstage, while portraying a excellent sense of space around the instruments. Detail and timbral accuracy are exemplary, with no trace of shrillness or sibilance. Best of all, I find myself drawn into the music, rather than focusing on the audiophile "tricks," while listening to this amp. As much as I love those glowing little bottles, it's been a huge bonus to get this quality of sound without having to worry about sourcing diminishing stocks of tubes, not to mention the absence of hassles regarding warmup time, fear of tube failures, etc. Why sell then? I recently moved to the Mk V edition, which is a significant upgrade, expanding upon the above mentioned qualities. I am the second owner of this amp. It is in pristine condition, practically indistinguishable from new.
