KILLER AMPLIFIERS! for receiver and amplifier

I like this amplifier -REALLY-! It arrived a few weeks earlier than expected so great job but more importantly it arrived in perfect condition with the pipes already installed. READ THE MANUAL! Do not turn it on without first connecting it to your speakers, or you could "lock" it. The X7 has two modes: Ultra Linear (aka Normal) and Triod. The latter makes the KT-88 sound more similar to the EL-34 - warm in the middle with soft edges at the top and bottom. It's very pleasant to hear Mela Torme or a record that's too bright, but I usually prefer more dynamics in Ultralinear mode. Chinese made bulbs take a while to burn out, but after 40 or 50 hours of use they suddenly cleared and sounded great. The op amp's built in phono stage is good enough for everyday listening, I have a Rega Planar 2 with a standard carbon cassette and it sounds "good" not "great". BUT when I connected it to my new Cambridge Audio AXC35 CD player. WOW! It sounds great! I'm using my old rebuilt Klipsch Heresy I speakers and KSW-150 subwoofer and the sound is fantastic! Open and detailed and VERY VERY musical! You will love this amp! By the way, the remote control is simple, but in contrast to the AXC35 it is very well made and elegant! :-)
