Yeah, they are that good. I too borrowed one overnight and bought it the next day. It was a quantum jump up from my prior stuff--the sound was so much clearer, improved depth, instumental tones were more lifelike, and more dynamic. I would have liked to get the PS Audio P1200 for my ATMA-SPHERE monoblocks but at $3K, they were kind of expensive, versus the $700 for the Power Company. This was just about the best $700 I ever spent. If looking at something for the front end, try the PS Audio P300. See this month's TAS.
