Yes, I definately agree that the SEX is tough to beat. Honestly, Doc and I put my balaned amp up against his studio amp, and the balanced amp still fell behind in sonics. If your budget permits, I would also recommend the V-Caps instead of the Auricaps. I believe Doc took best sound in show at RMAF in '04 with a tape/headamp combo laced with V-caps... it's just tough to beat. I will give myself a little credit, however, that the balanced amp that I built has a nice balance between solid state style slam and tube smoothness, but the SEX amp itself is simply a better design with absolutely black background.
