So is the P4 worth the money or should I just get the cheaper D2+? Also, is the CM07 LOD any good? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
I am dangerously close to buying a second P4 simply to write a review - its that good. If we ignore my colossal ego for a moment, ask yourself :
- exactly what it is you are hoping a portable amp will do for your music
- do you absolutely have to have a portable amp - if not, think entry-level desktop
- what is the opportunity cost of spending the extra $70
Unless you are going without food or shelter, I believe the extra $70 is 100% worth it. You still need to be realistic with your expectations, and that is where I think many of us fall into a rather large, deep hole. Spending $250+ (each) on 3 or 4 portable amps when the sum total would have bought you a very capable desktop amp is, for most of us, a false economy. Just my 2 cents worth.

. Again, thank you for your input, that really helped.
