I think it is interesting to note that right out of the box Richard and I both notice that there is no disconnect in refinement shifting gears between the Signature 30 and the other amps, Music Reference 45 in Richard's case, and Korneff 45 in mine. That this thing can hang with those amplifiers right out of the box should tell you something, and the 45 tube is well known as audio crack, it is that addictive, and it is also well known that Roger Modjeski, and Jeff Korneff dont exactly suck at amp design either. This a compari example right out the gate is probably the best review one could offer. Off to a VERY impressive start here.
Glad you also hear what I am hearing, Richard. The best solid state amp I have ever heard, methinks. Dense mixes such as full orchestra, forte, ala Williams, Prokofiev, etc., are like staring through a clear window, such is the resolution, and ease of the brain making sense of it all. Piece of cake for the brain to disseminate bucketloads of instrumention and arrangement information with this thing. It has opened up quite abit just being left to play most of the day. It may possibly be in line to offer a new standard of resolution, who knows. Different, that's fo shoo!!
