Otomon Labs. Soundgate Japan


Has anybody purchased an amp made by Ken Uesugi from Otomon Labs/Soundgate in Japan?
I’m seriously thinking of getting a 2A3 amp, but keen for any feedback. Everything I’ve read looks good, but buyer experience is invaluable. 
Thanks in advance.

Ken is very cool. He just made a 45/2A3 convertible amp for me.
i have at least 50 years of experience with Hi-Fi and this is the sound 
I’ve been searching for. Only caveat: you must have speakers that are 96 to
97 dB efficiency. Otherwise, the amp just can’t give it’s all (and that can get plenty loud with lots of body). I will never part with this amp.
Yes molsburg, I’m using a Manley Steelhead phono and a Manley 300B Classic linesatge. There are volume knobs on the front of the chassis but they have a limited range.i find them very good for balancing the stereo channels.
