for the SV300B MKII

Listen ,I really can't add much to what "The Squid" said about this instrument.I am merely echoing his sentiment.This amp is KILLER. I kinda liked my 2A3's,I Still love my Korneff...I loved my 300b SET'S.This amp has shattered my idea of what I thought push pull is. This amp projects a clear, robust ,full,natural,magical,deep wide sound scape.I'm hearing bottom nuances that were missing before.I was concerned the sound would be bright and I don't know if other push pull gear sounds like this ,but this amp is able to realistically convey music with those attributes I thought were the exclusive domain of SET'S.Sorry for not being real technical,but with this amp there really is no need.A beautiful sounding piece of gear...period.

Product Weakness: I don't know ..it's not perfect
Product Strengths: Sounds like SET with a bottom
