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.
