I will compare it to a maxed Woo WA6 and Single Power Square Wave XL balanced when the burn-in is done. With woodied re-cabled Denon D2000 I can already say I suspect it is going to pass up the Woo. With HD600 I think the Woo is going to be safe. That's with 39 hours on the Amphora and I will report back at 200 hours, adding to my impresssions with ATH-ESW10/A900, Edition 9, RS-1, and a variety of IEMs.

It is meant to run totally "off-grid". The charging circuit kicks in only when the amp is turned off for a few hours.
I think it will run 24-36 hours, with a 4 hour charge. I have been running it 21 hours out of 24, with a 3 hour charge, and not running the battery down until I am done with spring break vacation with the wife and kids. It came with a spare 400ma NiMH battery, and you can unscrew the bottom 4 screws and install a charged battery if you don't want any down-time.
