"The E.A.R. amp distinguishes itself from the competition like a Bruckner symphony: You hear it and you think-architecture. Grandeur. Clarity of line. Clarity of purpose. Richly drawn beauty, for beauty's own sake. This is "musical" in a manner different from the single-ended amps or the sprightly solid-state entries like the Naits and the Gaincards or just about everything else I know of - but it's "musical" nonetheless. Living with this amp was a rich experience I didnt expect, and which I wasnt happy to see come to an end. Recommended, in a tall, Zen kind of way."
