I was lucky enough to get a first listen. It was stellar on all fronts!

Thx Mike for being such a gracious host and you have a world class listening space.

I had one of those in the system about 7 years ago. Excellent sound, except I could hear the fan from the listening chair in between tracks.

Has the amp been updated since original release?

Great question. I don't hear any fan at all.

Looking good Mike!

If you go any bigger you’ll need an extra building just to house the power amps. How do you pick your gear, by pound per square inch of floor space?

I’m still waiting to see the Boulder with 1000 wpc in Class A at Suncoast Audio [emoji3].

From memory, it only switched on when playing the music reasonably loud - I do live in a quiet area.
 
A solid afternoon of listening. Holy sh!t this amplifier is on another planet. The silk glove with the iron fist has been found.

It has it all: sweetness, dynamics, HUUUUUUUUGE soundstage, bass that seems to plumb an octave lower, midrange to die for. OMG what an amp. Had another group over listening today, including a retired recording engineer. They all said "this amp doesn't sound like solid state or tubes."
