I too like the 717, although I have never tried the KGSS or Blue Hawaii or any of the other aftermarket amps.

The nr.1 rule with Stax solid state amps is to run them 24/7 or they will sound like crap. Even the Blue Hawaii isn't all that good until after 4 hours or so.

I don't have it on 24/7, but I let it run for several hours (4-6 at least) before doing any critical listening.

I do seriously doubt that the new amp will run 24/7 as we are looking at a serious appetite for the juice...
