It makes Music....!

That's why the mouth is held open in making earmolds.....when you find the right amp for the Jerry Harveys that's the position your mouth resides in!!

Great review Mark!! You didn't leave a stone un-turned on this one. This amp is so wonderful with any phone and paired with a good source....... fugedaboutit!!
Alan, I was hoping someone would try the Sonett with the JH13PROs! The synergy with the ES3X sounds similar. I hope other's will try this combo, because frankly, it is spellbinding!

Loved the "open mouth for the impressions" picture! It's a good description of what I experienced as well, along with a few tears. Having been in audio for so long, and plodding through tweak after tweak to find audio bliss, only to have this one smack you, well, right between the ears, is a gift!

I have heard the DNA and I was totally impressed on how it sounds similar to the SP Extreme. I spoke with Don at length at the SM meet and he was pretty upfront in explaining the design. definitely recommended. no component is maxxed out in its operating parameter, so you can expect longevity, safety and solid vendor support.

X2 on the Customer Support...Donald and I both live in So. Cal and he delivered in person to save the shipping. Mines like a s/n 4 and he was enthusiastic on impressions and sought recommendations after I had spent time with the amp.

A quick question: Does the DNA Sonett have any preamp functions or loop outs or whatever? Just seeing if I can get a signal to my powered speakers as well.

Any pictures of the back?

The Sonett has no line outputs - just a pair of inputs.
