    It replaced a B&K Reference 5 S2 with B&K 200.2 S2 amp

    In for that Karma with 22 :smiley:

    Scott's a putz. :) I was eyeballin' this piece the second it was posted, even called in a bomb threat to Scotts house to delay his response. Dude still clicked on the forum.

    Congrats man.

    Yeah, I was seriously considering this piece also. I know some think they're a little glitzy but I've always liked their design.

    I'm glad you got a chance to experience the A5 for yourself Scott. Sounds like you are experiencing a lot of the same improvements that I was telling you about when I moved up from my B&K gear. I look forward to hearing more of your impressions as you get used to the new sound a little.

    Oh yeah, I completely forgot that that was Musical Fidelity you went to with your big SDAs up from the B&K!
    I disabled signatures.

    I've... heard things.. you people wouldn't believe.

    I was thinking about snatching this up, but it clearly went to the right home. Glad you're enjoying your new big boy integrated.
