I bought this recently and it should arrive tomorrow, so I'll let you know my first impressions soon.

So that was a fucking lie. Shipping decided to take 24 trillion years. I can finally confirm the amplifier makes me want to bust a nut though. To be honest, while I can definitely say it sounds better than my old amp, it's hard to give any real specifics because my old amp was broken for so long that I have nothing in recent memory to compare it to. I want to say there's more fidelity on the low end now that I'm using a beefier amp, which makes sense given that that's exactly where planars typically struggle when paired with lower end amps like what I used to have. Also, I swear I can close my eyes and pinpoint exactly where every instrument in the pit orchestra is located, though its definitely possible I'm placeboing myself on that specific claim. Either way, between all of that and the fact that this bad boy has balanced 3.5 mm, 4.4 mm, and XLR out, 50 gazillion different input channels, a sexy display and its own EQ, I'm more than pleased with my purchase.

And yes, I know I need to dust my computer off, and I know my computer can create interference. I just set it up there for now and I'm gonna have to experiment with how much interference the pc actually makes and then fuck with the amps settings to try to diminish it, or more likely just end up moving it elsewhere.
