Thanks for highlighting this remarkable product - my favorite discovery at this year's show. Colin Hay's 12 string guitar and vocals on "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" were arresting, and Nat King Cole was equally present - warm, energetic and detailed. The EAR CD spinner and Marten monitors contributed as well, but it was impossible not hear the amp's profound influence. If you have a highly accurate system that needs an injection of analogue warmth, check this out. I took in the rarified air of rooms with $200K+ systems, and this combination was one of the few that sounded like live music (and for considerably less money).
