Just the cables left to sort out now.
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

I have one of these little things driving my Tannoys at the moment. It would be difficult to imagine them sounding better. It's a great amp.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I have this 'Pro' and the smaller, regular (but rarer) SM-70. They sound different! Both very good though. (got other amps too.....just in case )
Yes I know they can be used as monos. Not much point for me. I certainly don't need more power and an improvement in sound quality is unlikely as the current unit sounds just sublime. There are mixed reports about using pairs. Some imply there's not really any gain.
