Preliminary listening impressions - no background hum or buzz, very quiet. Amps sound extremely nice! Nice clarity and soundstage, bass is quick and tight....
I will admit that I have never fully believed or perhaps comprehended the "burn in" period discussed in camps at several levels but….. my goodness. I would say after about 6 to 8 hrs of play time, the sound really came into its own. The bass improved significantly, sound stage is staggering, highs are sweet and the mids are right where I want them. Listening to this amp play was pure pleasure. I am really looking forward more "seat time" with this unit along with more "burn in". You really are able to pick out subtleties on a CD that you have not heard before - even with my modest system. I am truly looking forward to showing off your handiwork to my friends who now may be starting to show signs of catching the DIY bug.
I had originally built this unit as a 4 CH amp for surrounds and rears in my home theatre set up with the three NX150’s I purchased previously for the fronts and centre - I wonder if I should be listening to this unit elsewhere…...
I’m sure you have heard this before, but I believe you’ve really got something here with these amps and, along with your top notch support (don’t you sleep?), I wish you all the success you deserve - keep up the great work!
