U - I suggest you get your hands on an even more powerful SS amp. You may like it even more. I bet you'd even be quite shocked what a cheapo fanless pro amp could offer if you could lower yourself long enough to try a real contender.Whereas in theory, a powerful fanless SS pro amp nowhere near clipping *could* transparently allow you to hear the recording through your loudspeakers, none have a faceplate/chassis as attractive as the one pictured, which suggests marvelously beautiful sound. The visibly ugly chassis of the typical pro amp will cause horrible shrieking noises and sound with enough grain to fill a silo. Clearly audible to anyone but a blind person.
A consummate self assessed hearing expert like John Curl could instantly identify what cheapo junk caps were used by looking...excuse me, listening to those monstrosities.cheers,
