Bottom line?
I really enjoyed it and it sounded very good.
Not in the market for one having recently went back to valves, but if I was, I'd be looking at this.

Some observations:
* It does this thing of plugging the music directly into your head, it carries a tune really well and lets you hear the "point" of the song.
* Its a very "organised" sounding amp, but not in an artificial way.
* Music is naturally spread out, everything in its right place.
* Its quite detailed sounding too, noticably so actually, but not at the expense of overall flow of the music.
* Midrange is particularly good as well, very open and transparent.

What all of the above does is let the amp get out of the way...your listening to the music not the kit its being played through.

Only one thing I'd mention?
We found it took a while to show its true colours, maybe half hour or so after being powered up.
Not an issue at all, sounded good right away but we did notice it got better with some time on it.
Like all equipment though, its about how it interacts with the rest of your system, so its great that Alan is letting folk hear it in their own systems giving them the opportunity to check if it works with their own system.

Its a great amp at a good price, well done Alan.


Ps: If its not black with a red LED its just not right
How did it compare to your set Gary?
