Hey all,
Slowly selling through my system to pay healthcare bills. This amplifier is a surprisingly solidly built amplifier. I was using this amplifier to power my Gallo Reference IIs (just sold here on AC).
Don't let the 5W of power fool you; this tube amp has plenty of headroom and I had no problems reaching +100dB peaks with the above speakers.
Great looking amp, small size and cost-effective. I've hooked up laptops and USB output from my phone with good success if you want to start small and don't want to purchase a dedicated DAC.
