Her's an amplifier that you don't see too often. The designer has interesting design ideas that should not be discounted. Ther's a lot of bad and good stuff on the internet about the designer and his ideas and philosophy (as well as a lot of personal comments that are best left alone). Suffice it to say this amplifier seems to benefit from design ideas as it sounds absolutely amazing, it looks so simple, and that is part of the designers philosophy I believe, but he has used quality but not exotic components and a wiring scheme that is designed to preserve signal integrity. The cabinet styling is typical of a lot of British amps, plain to look at but in this case the cabinet also plays an integral part in the sound quality (see the online stuff, just google it).
