It may be that my amp needs time to burn in from what I have read. I just hooked the amp up to my Denon 1910 DVD player and my Monitor Audio S1's. It still leans to the bright side of neutral but it has excellent air, treble and bass. Just keep in mind that my assessment of the sound is subjective and that I am comparing it to $4000 worth of Van Alstine tube DAC and Preamp as well as the $200 Maverick Tube Pre/DAC.

And I am not knocking the amp, its a great buy at $50 or $100. I don't think that you could do any better at that price. I don't think that any of the sub $500 2ch receivers, AVRs and integrated amps can compete with it for tight deep bass and airy sound.
