Two years and eight months and it's finally here!What a perfect match with the 103db sensitive ZUs. I bought it as a backup amp for my AricAudio Transcend PP figuring if one had an issue I would still have tubes to drive the speakers.I've tried a few SS units but meh....It's been fun to be on the list and congratulate folks as they received their equipment as my name inched closer and closer. As the big day approached I was feeling a bit paranoid about something going wrong - difficult to find ground loops,bad tubes,etc
All for naught,because I couldn't be happier.
After letting it get to room temperature (it's cold here) overnight I hooked it up with the same cabling from the Aric, left it on for an hour, chose Bruce Colburn to play first.Just beautiful. Exactly like others have claimed it is extremely transparent, sweet,some things are clearer than ever before that I was aware of in the background before. The articulate bass was a major surprise,just outstanding.This little amp is perfect for my particular room and equipment.It's not even broken in yet! The Aric amp is of course more dynamic but nowhere near as transparent.
