That's a very unblemished report. And Kal seems to really, really enjoy noting that the amps ($2300 *a pair*) are each essentially a few small modules hooked up with computer-type board connectors.

"There is zero gushing about point-to-point wiring in this component review" needs to be italicized as a header now at the top of Kal's reviews.

I was almost scowling at the price of the Buckeye's. Then I realized what I was doing and laughed.

Adjusting for inflation that's about what I paid for my very first nice amp -- 30+ years ago. When I was broke.

Too funny, this hobby. One decade they second mortgage your house, next decade, you just have to got to the ATM real quick.

The Audio Precision AUX-0025 passive low-pass filter will not give us the whole result in terms of distorsion. IMD is certainly not very low and higher than good AB power amps.

  it's been demonstrated that THD does not correlate to what we hear.
  
  Some like to game a largely irrelevant metric.

    Agreed! :-))
    
    But, I suggest, the harmonic profile correlates highly.
    
    Monotonically decreasing delivers the best sound.
