Letting the amp sit and warm - just for an hour or so whilst I went out for bit - the thing jumped into life. Totally different, sounding bigger, brighter and with that lovely drive in the bass which Exposure amps do so well. Its phonostage is the icing on the cake, easily as good as the Dino2/NCPSU which I'm a huge fan of.

Pardon? l want a refund!
