    If it's half as good as the power amp section of my yamaha integrated you have nothing to worry about.
    Yamaha make/made excellent power amps. Get one now before everyone wants one.

    Go for it, Jamie. It's a fine amplifier and will of course attract the anti-jap amp brigade but as we both know, they make good stuff. It can only add to experience and I suspect may end up being in your system for quite some time.

    The fets are a concern but there are ways around it but it'll never be the same

    That's all part of the fun of ownership. Anyway if you think that's bad tell people you use a Linn amp and see what happens...

    Lad across the street from me worked in the Linn factory in Eaglesham-just outside Glasgow.

    Gave me a factory tour one day in the early 90s.

    They had a set up with an lp12, loads of power amps hung on the walls and a big fuck off pair of speakers.

    That system was rather tasty sounding-to say the least.......worth a couple of bob no doubt!

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
