Archie,
I have definitely gone down the rabbit hole. My original order was an SE84UFO25 but was then changed to a stock Torii. After having great conversations with Will, he advised that cost wise, it would be best to add the Anniversary mods upfront. Hence the order was then changed and upgraded.
With my upcoming major home renovation, jumping into a stock ZMA would be a stretch at this point. But knowing me....I would want the Anniversay mods. So that additional cost would not fly with the wife.
When I joined the forum like 7 years ago, the ZMA wasn’t even designed yet, and the Torii was their best amp, which is what I was after. Now that Steve upgraded the bypass caps on the Torii to the Mundorf’s... I’m just too curious. Plus...I do like the adjustability of the bass and treble cut switches, as well as the ability to roll rectifiers.
If I had some extra money later on this year after my home renovation, then maybe I would reassess the scenario. By that time the Torii will be broken in nicely, and something tells me I will be totally content.
Thanks for the pep talk. It definitely piqued my interest.
Dom
