Actually, we feel that the Aleph 30 is an improvement over the original Aleph 3. It has a far more convenient front panel power switch, the ability to accept balanced as well as single-ended inputs, an input impedance of 47Kohms vs 23 Kohms on the original, and one more TO3 MOSFET device per channel on the output stage. While similar in the warmth, intimacy, silky smooth top end and lush midrange of the original, the Aleph 30 is firmer in the bass and overall more versatile than its predecessor.
