Add Your Review for the AQ1003 |
This is the AQ1003DT model. Imported into Canada by Divergent Technologies. And built to their specs with some nice extras. Much better quality output transformers, Alps volume pot, matched EL34's, audiophile caps and resistors, etc. This integrated is very near a ST70 that I once owned in both circuit topology and sound. But MUCH prettier. And a true tube musicality! Much more quality sound than the price would indicate.
