I liken it to an 'update' of my A5 integrated, but it's more than that (this one has a MM and MC phono stage, which is reportedly very good), and is a dual mono design. But like mine it's high power and high current, and will drive almost anything with ease.

There are also upgrades-a-plenty available, from folk like ex-MF engineer John Sampson, which reportedly takes these amps' performance to another level, provided your pockets are deep enough

Definitely worth a listen.
