How long have you use it?
I use it for 2 years

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I listened to several amps in the store but this is my first purchase

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I find the staff very friendly and harmonious design. The sound of the amp is difficult to assess in the sense that I bought all my chain at the same time. All I can say is that I love the sound of my amp / torque pregnant (biblio, Bowers & Wilkins approx. € 600 per pair).
I only listen to vinyl and generally of good quality, see if i can audiophyles pressings (type Mobile Fidelity, Quality Records etc ...). I find her very hot, with nice well rounded...…

I only listen to vinyl and generally of good quality, see if i can audiophyles pressings (type Mobile Fidelity, Quality Records etc ...). I find her very hot, with nice well rounded bass without drooling too (especially since I have my speakers isolated on polystyrene plates) while being very accurate in the high mids and treble. I also like the versatility, I spend Tommy Flanagan Fuck Buttons through the Eno, the Echo & the Bunnymen, the Dylan, the Marvin Gay, or Superpitcher always with great listening pleasure.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Value for money very good I think, compared to other equivalent products range that I could listen

With experience, you do again this choice?
I would do this choice without hesitation.

The sound is clear dynamic is a good amp, but only criticism bothers me a bit anyway, its a bit shiny / metallic voice you can hear some good and distorts rendering. Too bad because otherwise it would be perfect.
We read here and there it is neutral and does not affect the sound and that is why I bought it but for me it is not true.
I plugged on Focal 716 and also monitor the audio BX5, rendering shiny is always present on the same voice. Damage.
