How good is the new Accuphase A-36?


It was about a year ago when I discussed on these pages about the benefits of an Accuphase P-4200 Power Amp. I consequently bought one with wonderful sonic results while matched with the C-2420, that incidentally is a big improvement over the previous C-2400/C-2410 in terms of transparency. However, my question is, as I feel a need or desire for Class A power, is how good is the new A-36?
Has anyone heard it and is it a leap forward over previous incarnations of the base-line Class A from Accuphase?
Look forward to any views or experiences.
