I just got the Omega Sig 30 a few days ago. I chose the Macassar Ebony finish. My wife and I both enjoy wood and she thinks it's elegant. Louis wanted to keep the front face clean so there is a red led on the bottom which reflects off the piano black gloss base the amp sits on so you can tell it's on. This is one time I can say the "base" is excellent and have it spelled correctly.
. The base has 3 cones that screw into the bottom and there are discs for them so they won't scratch anything. Then what I really think is cool is there are 4 cones that screw into the top, point side up. The Sig 30 has 4 small holes in the bottom of it that Louis precisely fits and you lower it onto the points where it rests securely, won't go anywhere or scratch the beautiful finish. Nicely done Louis.
Nuff on looks.
I'm still breaking it in but like most everyone has said, it's real nice out of the box. At 10 hours I heard a nice change. I really like the long play times, 20+ hrs. Makes breakin alot faster. I use it on some Super 3r's and his A8's and will eventually test it on my Maggie 3.6's if anyone is interested. I have 5 SET amps and from all indications I would be very pleased to add this to my collection. This amp does the decay of notes much like an SET. Some amps decay too fast, some way too ripe and fat. This one gets it right. Like the Goldilocks story. More later.
I would like to thank both Louis and Vinnie on products that compete at such a high level but are so affordable. They may be budget priced but they are upper class components. I think they could price this into the several thousands. I wish you both all you deserve.
