Ignore the messenger as I know for some, he’s not your favorite uncle. Just try and focus your thoughts and opinions on the amp itself.

It does appear to be a beautiful piece of equipment.

I would be curious to hear some more of our learned members talk about the amp.  

I know circuit boards offer certain capabilities advantages over strict point to point wiring, but I would also imagine there are some major trade offs/liabilities that go with circuit boards.....am I off base?

That amp violates every principle upon which I have spent the past 30 years building my system.  My reaction to it is the exact opposite of Deal’s.

I prefer not to watch youtube videos. For some reason youtube has annoyed the heck out of me ever since it was launched.

I did read the Stereophile review though when it was published six weeks or so ago.

An interesting amp. I bet it sounds quite nice, but it's not what I am looking for in an amp. What I want and am waiting for is the Decware 300B.

I wish that WE amplifier appealed to me more, Im in the mood to lust for something I can't afford.

That is a great line, one to which I relate.
