Not Up to Standards

(3.00 out of 5) by robinsonband on Dec 10, 2006

Cons: Accepts neither optical nor coaxial digital inputs
The Bottom Line: If pure uncolored sound is your goal, you'll be well-served using this as the centerpiece of a stereo system to deliver just that.

[Second update: July 28, 2006.] I have played this amp long & hard enough to find one of its limits. ...
