Sound Quest SQ-84 Int Amp???

I have read two reviews of this amp, but have you Audiogoners owned one? Did you like it? How reliable is it? I'm thinking of purchasing. Thanks in advance.

I have listened to it with a variety of monitors and headphones. It is a superb speaker and headphone amp. Very few amplifiers can give the kind of palpable you are there sound that this amp can provide, even with low efficiency speakers. One of the strangest and best combinations is the SQ-84 with the AAD 2001 (86 dB). The SQ-84 must be a pretty high current amp for a tube amp because 10 watts should not be enough to drive the 2001. But somehow the SQ-84 makes beautiful music with the 2001 AND with plenty of bass! Is the bass better on the 2001 with a high current solid state amp? Sure! But the music becomes sterile compared to the SQ-84. I am currently using the SQ-84 with a pair of Omega Super 3 V2 speakers and am extremely happy! :-) Enjoy! .
