They have some of the most complex looking power supply designs i have ever seen for an amplifier. Their design concept seems right in nearly everyway (except perhaps being push/pull), with an ultra stable incredibly regulated power supply and no feedback. Looks like potentially reference level gear but I have learned to never judge these things based on the looks or even the coolness of the design. |

That's where the high SET 2nd harmonic distortion comes from. |
