A purchaser of this amp, from early in 2017, stated " Conrad Johnson meets Krell ". I have owned a few CJ amps ( 2 tube, 2 ss ), and a few Krells ( but am familiar with many Krell amps ), and I have to say, this amp definitely has many " high end ... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
We need to stay away from the power cord debate here, imo. However, I have stated in other cable threads the subtle, to dramatic differences pcs make, to these ears. Cannot explain why, and I do not really care. But in my listening room, with my e... 
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
It is important to note, that when replacing a fuse, you should not handle it with your fingers, as the skin has oils, and if these oils get on the end caps of the fuse, it can hinder the contact being made. The glass body of the fuse should have ...

Skeptic or just plain hard headed
This long break in is a reason Mike Morrow gives a 60 day return if you do not like them. 3 weeks of constant play ( I used a tuner set to mono connected to the input of an integrated amp ) showed an improvement in sq across the board. A long time...

No question that digital has come a long way.  
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
kosst, so you learn nothing ? Why are you here ? BTW, would your home made amp, as it is now, pass UL approval ? I have amplifiers in my collection I have completely bypassed the fuses and the holders ( crapola ), that SIGNIFICANTLY improved SQ in...

Listen folks, I should have started this thread as :  I like my system " set to flat ", as opposed to flat, which many thought acoustically flat, as Doug Shneider, in his original response, caught on to. Keep in mind, this as an important a topic ...
