I have well over 225 hours on the Amber 3. I also installed and SR Orange fuse and very nice Mullard/Amperex Long plate 12au7 tube. Both the tube and fuse have 65 hours on them. The sound out of the Amber 3 is now so effortless, natural and beautifully intimate.
My system sounds just as I had hoped. Huge luscious stage with great depth. I hear further into the recording and space then I have ever experienced before. I love how smooth and easy on my ears and mind the sound is. Music just floats out and swells bigger and bigger as the volume is turned up. Not a hint of forced or overly forward presentation. Not a hint!
Brownsfan, I will report back on complex material and how the Amber 3 handles it. Thus far I find the Amber to be very composed easily sorting out all instruments in their appropriate space.
The Amber 3 has always excelled in dynamic drive and bass, that has not changed.
