This unit was one of a hand-full that I felt was really musical,while I worked at Salon 1 Audio in Wisconsin.It throws a large,airy soundstage with good detail and dynamics.It was a solid piece for $3000 new.You might want to make sure that it can be serviced,but at $649,it's a steal.Don't use an overly warm digital cable.It prefers a quick,lively interface.Good Luck!
