I had one from about 1984-1988. It had very good sound. Very tube like, yet precise, smooth, plenty of headroom, etc. The problem I had was that it runs its 6550s _very_ hot. I had two or three rather spectacular failures during the time I owned it. Each failure resulted in sparks, smoke, charred circuit boards etc. I would get it back two weeks and $200 ('80s money) later working and sounding perfectly, but I held my breath every time I turned it on! IN my book, it gets an A for sonics and a C- for reliability.
