It should be better than a Rotel, I had the 250 for about 2 days and returned it. In all fairness, I did purchase it used from The Music Room. No problems returning. It just is underpowered. I had sold an old Adcom 555ii which would beat it hands down, no tubes too, and sounded sweeter. I like PS Audio's marketing and return policy and the people - but the stuff is not high end in my opinion - right in there with MAC and Rotel.
PS Audio BHK lacking..
I bought a used PS Audio BHK preamp to replace my Rotel. It sounds thin with no depth & bass compared to my Rotel so I let it run for over an hour with no change. I'm new to tubes so I'm looking for ideas. New tubes or what?
