You're quite right. I'd forgotten!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Aura Evolution II VA100 Integrated Amp
I used to own one of these and they are a cracking sounding amp. Made by B&W, output is 50wpc although with a hefty PS and torroidal tranny onboard current delivery is healthy. It is a superbly made product and it looks very cool IMHO

Yep - SS-1005 the same as I picked up - missing the Serial Number labels to confirm but they look identical - sound very good to my ears. They didn't oust the Diamond 7.2s on a permanent basis, though. Maybe something to do with the fact that they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!

Came with the stands as well but i think they seem a bit top heavy for them!
