    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

This is an expensive design that allows each channel to function virtually independent from the other, allowing for improved sonic performance.

    Old Sansui rocks. Am I correct to assume that this is NOT a common ground design?

    I am also interested. Is it also for 230V so can it be used in Europe? There is fuse cup for 110V and 230V but does it mean anything.
