I unfortunately must agree with a previous comment made about electro's reliability. I owned the brand on two occasions - ok sound, tries to mimic tubes, but overall, not worth the money. Problems with volume control on one occasion, with humming problems with another unit. I know those are separate isolated issues, but there's too much choice out there not to switch restaurants if you are not happy.
A very nice sounding, well-built amp. I listened to it against the Naim SuperNait 2 and the Musical Fidelity M6i and found it to be superior in most aspects to the other two. Really good value for money, in my view.

The wide soundstage referred to above may not be that much of a drawback, depending on personal preferences. However, the amp's large size could be a limiting factor for some.
