"This 2xKT66/channel amp is absolutely beautiful - both in the way it soundsand in the way it looks. Modern "audiophile" sonics but without omitting that great classic sound, and it has that great old-fashioned industrial look. Wide and deep soundstage, wonderful tone, and balanced from top to bottom. And Min was right about this amp being the quietest he's ever made - it is so quiet and free of background noise that the musical detail really comes through. I have purchased one-off amps from other people in the past, but Min is the only maker who delivers on time, stays in constant communication, and gets things done with no drama or issues. Thank you again, Min!!!   - KLM from NYC

The Mundorf caps and the "Genalex" tubes have broken in quite well. The thin sonic signature that I heard when the amp was just out of the box has changed, and it's gotten richer. Tight and detailed bass, fleshier midrange.  I'm using an EH 5U4G rectifier instead of my NOS 5AR4's; the former gives the amp a more relaxed sound; the latter was too forward.  Thank you again for such a great amp at such a great price and no delivery dramas.
