He tends to be eager to avoid controversy in his conclusions, but the data is all laid out for those willing to make up their own minds. <brCharles Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657251150380437112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-36298689499598654702020-07-24T18:52:47.136-07:002020-07-24T18:52:47.136-07:00Thanks for the reminder Vaal,

Things sound a bit richer and there is an attractive "glow" that I enjoy and actually find to sound a bit more natural overall vs the solid state amps (like Bryston) that I've tried.

So true for so many topics.
