Mine arrived yesterday. I listened to it for about six hours. So far, amazing. Great highs (sparkling, actually) and palpable presence in the mids on vocals. Bass is all I need. I'll keep the first impressions to that, since I this is far from broken in and my listening session came after lugging this beast up the stairs.
It is driving Thiel CS 2.3s and I was worried tubes would not work. They have so far. I have the Magnum 99 preamp with NOS Sylvanias from Rogue. Source is the Arcam FMJ with all Cardas Golden Reference interconnects and Neutral Reference speaker cables.
