my edge is a bit dull of late! I wish this thing wasn't so expensive...would love to hear it. It encorperates some of what my on-going Marantz up-grades do and then some. Waiting to have news of my amp chez Wyred. Meanwhile listening to an "old" T amp from M. MArdis. Not bad at all but it doesn't keep the same company as my big rig. (big being a very relative term) The ebony footer definately brought something nice to te mix, as did a complete Craig's detox and treatment. Little things add up.
