Fixed that. Now it works. Put on some music and thought not really any better than my 45 amp I have been using and maybe even not as good. Had to go out. Came back later and sat down for an extended listen. Started sounding better etc. About an hour and half in I was just sitting there in amazement. I have never heard music sound this good. Holy Crap!!! It is hard to describe but music that I am very familiar with seemed to slow down. Not talking about the pitch but it was like time slowed down and it allowed you to hear everything, especially the dark background between the notes and instruments. Like i said it is hard to describe. Absolutely amazed!!!

rromeo, did you havea chance to compare the Cortese f2a with the 300b ?
