LOL! Mr. Atkinson seems to be stumbling about a bit in an attempt to defend Sam here...

I did not read Steve's piece to imply in any way that the ASUSA amp was reviewed by Stereophile. In fact, the links to reviews of both amps were CLEARLY another web publication(tnt?).

What WAS made clear by Steve is that Sam kept the Amp longer than needed for a mention in his column; even delaying return after he said it was to be on its way, and that delay MAY have been due to the fact that he MIGHT have had some insider's knowledge of ASUSA introducing a very near clone and the delay MIGHT have been just him wanting to hear both side by side?

Could be.

OTOH, if ASUSA wanted to clone the amp, at the price of Steve's offering they likely would have just bought one, copied it, and sold it on the used market for near to $499 which is near-zero net cost.













First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
