Truly an excellent amp, and to my ear it was better than then the Zapco 3.0 competition series my friend has-in fact after he recieved his amp and hooked up I could tell he still felt my tube amp was better-the proof, He just bought a Mcintosh amp |

duckman996 Unregistered guest | Great, wish I had read this before I bought an IS4085. Has the quality dropped off that much? or was your customer pushing the amp really hard Muddy? What company would you equate them with quality-wise currently? |

I had an Xtant x604 with the EQ module. That was pretty good amp, but it took a lot of tuning with the amp, the EQ module and my deck to get that good sound-but it was good though slightly harsh. The Tube amp was great from the good go, without any Equing |
