Hate to say it, but goes to show how much one should read into a review of recently purchased equipment! Sorry Dave, but I think you also recognize this.
We buy something new which presents a new or different sound, we love the excitement of listening to that new and different sound . . . then one day we realize, yeah its different, but . . .
As my suggestion goes, never buy into a review that is less than a year old and then only after contacting the reviewer to see if they even still own the equip.
Dave, I have a lot of respect for your postings and your opinions, but you of all people should know not to review a product after 300 hours of use! Though I am glad you came clean, but feel that you owe a bit more on the weaknesses you found with the amp than just the sudden turn around (I know/recognize we are now years later, but the dam internet won't ever let us forget those words we once wrote . . . ).
