| Comments: I got my custom 55 up and running today and was very pleased with the smooth response,ultra low distortion and the natural warmth of this amp. I have been using a solid state Yamaha class A CR-1000 which is no slouch and was taken back on how much better this amp sounds over the solid state. The build quality is second to none with killer looks and is built like a tank from the inside out and as good as any I have seen in the high end market. My Altec model 17 studio monitors are a perfect match and sounds so good with this amp they defy words. The amp is worth a lot more than I paid for it and Syd was great to work with every step of the way.....Thanks again Syd. |

Comments: My amplifier arrived today. After work I brought it home and proceded to unpack it. This was the best packing job I have ever seen in my life and I am 58 years old. I set up the amp and proceded to play an LP, "Moon River" by Andy Williams. The amplifier worked perfectly. The amplifier looks beautiful and I like your printed manual. Even the staples were perfectly placed. I like your web site. I think that it sold me in bidding for this amplifier.
Thanks again,

Comments: I've always been a fan of big, high current, DC coupled solid state watts, so purchasing a 27 wpc "old tech." tube-driven amplifier was a fairly sizeable leap of faith. I needn't have worried. Syd endured my questions with admirable patience and delivered an equally admirable product. Its sound is smooth, with a remarkably extended and controlled low end, very detailed mids and highs, and imaging that verges on holographic.
It fascinates visually as well as aurally. The button and cap head Allen screws arrayed along the top of the chassis bespeak quality and thought, as do the ash end-pieces and soft amber glow of four output tubes reflected in smoothly applied black enamel paint. Very elegant.
For my purposes this amplifier has it all -- phenomenal sound and a very high coefficient of cool. Of course, more power isn't a bad thing, and a chrome finish like an old McIntosh would look great -- hey, Syd... |
