sounds nice)

Congrats, and yes, it really does take 600 hrs to really hit it's stride. Enjoy the process. You won't exactly be slumming it along the way!

Karl, congrats on a great move! I upgraded from a REF 110 to a REF 150 and could not be happier. It is indeed a fabulous amp and a noticeable upgrade from the REF 110 which is already a great contender.
