Hilarious - you're not going even consider an "around $500" amp (your condition) who's purported fault is a barely perceptible 'ringing' yes, a barely perceptible ringing of some sort - on some material - at higher volume levels - on modern (digital) recordings - on modern speakers that his vintage hybrid ESLs don't show!The 303 is warm, smooth, has tube like silkiness, full and robust, lush, pleasant and non-fatiguing - your exact description, and picked by two professional reviewers in their top ten list who've had access to hundreds of the best of amps for all their professional careers - doing reviews under highly controlled circumstances. And - oh yeah - designed by Peter Walker himself - not only with his ear for sound, but with his unique circuit design specifically made to be unconditionally stable into the crazy-reactive impedence of the 57's.
Congratulations, you're an audiophile!
