Very pleased...a bit more bright than what I am used to but better detail and bass...I wouldnt say it is better than my Shindo gear but I am planning on selling Shindo separates as I am enjoying the simplicity of this Solid State integrated...It is a sweet integrated!

What shop was that in Virginia...would love to actually hear one of these...

I am looking at the 550axII....My Shindo Pre is an Aurieges w/MM...the phono stage is excellent. I am going to possibly sell Shindo Montrachet first and keep pre so I can compare with pre section of Luxman...
