From lab testing, same power as GS150 but 13 dB lower noise (!!!) and wider S/N. Spends a lot of the write up on triode vs ultra linear mode. Prefers each for different music (triode is good for brass, edgy recordings and ultra linear for dynamic, transients, bass heavy).
And yet he points out he found the differences between the modes to be subtle and not night & day. I completely expect there will be quiet intimate recordings, vocals with just one accompanying instrument, jazz trios and quartets, etc that are going to be amazing in triode mode, whereas rock and full orchestra will be better in ultralinear mode. I am happy to hear the differences aren’t extreme as I don’t need another reason to get up and push buttons.
