I agree that it has a lot going for it and it's a great amp. In my system I'm comparing it to a number of SE tube designs and in that league, I'm preferring the tube stuff. The current champ is a 45 parafeed amp that uses nickle in the output transformers and a number of other fun tricks, like direct coupling between stages. FWIW, not only do I have the Trends, but I recently bought a Charlize amp and I have a "Gain Clone" amp. I'd like to do a shoot out at some point and compare them all. I've not heard the Charlize yet, but of the other two, the Trends easily tops the Gain Clone.
