Worth the Wait!
I received my Ascent amp about a week ago and I still can't believe how good it sounds. Absolutely dead quiet, beautifully detailed, open and airy, with a wonderful soundstage. With quality recordings, it is as if you are at the recording venue.
For the last year or so, I have been using a Creek OBH-11SE with the better power supply (a lot more money) but the Ascent just does a better job at reproducing the music, hands down.
There was a slight delay in receiving the amp, during which time I read some of your comments and was put a little on edge by them, however, Drewd always contacted me within a day, whenever I asked about the status of the amp. If I had acted on these comments, I would have missed out on a beautifully constructed, fantastic little amp.
Anyway, this is an amp maker that is worth the wait both in terms of the money you will save and the quality you will receive. Keep up the good work Drewd!
