I received my unit and unpacked it, put it together and fired it up with "Kaya" by Bob Marley. This being an office setup, I don't have a turntable and use a mac to play music into a nice Astell & Kern 120 which I use as a DAC, which then feeds into the amp, which itself feeds Omega desktop speakers. These speakers are something else and until now I was using a nice little Audioengine N22 amp.

Let's just say that the SE84 takes me places I've never been to before.

I am now playing the album I produced with Sly & Robbie called Dubrising and I'm having a blast similar to what I experienced with I was in the mastering studio after the engineer had finished his job. AWESOME!

Thanks Steve Deckert for such a piece of art.

Snob appeal - I love that.

I was at an audio shop before - they were letting me borrow a pair of speakers I was considering buying - I returned them saying they had a lot of sibilance, and they tried to tell me that I had blown them, probably from cranking my amp too loud. When I explained I was running a 2 watt Zen amp, and it was unlikely I blew the tweeters rated at 50 watts, he then started bashing the Zen amp calling it "industrial" and of a "pedestrian design". It made me laugh, especially since I'm still using this amp 16 years later.
