YEah you may be right! About the clippping i mean.
The ASUSA is doing really great. I put in an old RCA 12ax7, and a pair of new tesla el84s. After about 20 hours, it rocks. In my opinion it sounds better than the zen by a tad. Better soundstage and imaging. The zen sounds kind of like there is a film on the music.. i suspect becuase the asusa is tweaked wuth high quality coupling caps and a solen cap in the power supply, while the zen is stock (solen coupling caps which are not too bad thuogh).
I really like the asusa amp!
The one good thing... i no longer think the zen amp is the best amp!
MAde me break that slavish mindset!
