Why, oh why, does an expensive amplifier such as this, include the addition of a switch, and additional wires / traces, for speaker switching / headphone listening. I have bypassed this switching and additional wiring, in several amplifiers ( most of them, coincidently, were of Japanese origin ), and the sound, became cleaner, had more detail, embraced me with a quieter black background, and showed me, much more dynamic capability. It is so easy to piggy back additional amplifiers, for a secondary system / additional set of speakers. So, given how good this amplifier is, I know, it could be better. I am sorry if I hurt feelings here.

@builder3, if that truly is the case, I am wrong, plain and simple. But, this is, another switch, in the signal path. I suppose, I am a purist....old school.....less, is more. Enjoy, be well and stay safe ! Always, MrD.
