Mine arrived yesterday (but out of batteries now
). What can I say about the sound... absolutely crystal clear, controlled bass with just the right amount of quantity. Soundstage is very precise and somewhat wide. This is indeed one fine portable amp. I can even hear details that I couldn't hear with the SM3 or MicroAmp (or any other portable amp i've owned) on my reference tracks when comparing them side by side on the UE10s
The Silc RCA cables from Larocco are certainly pretty but are a bit warm for my liking. Once again my trusty Rnb Audio Gold references are used for comparisons between amps and is what i'm using now! It does however, lack crossfeed which i'm a big proponent of..
Are there any other PRII's lurking in the island of UK?
My only qualm about this amp is the externals. People have waxed about how nice this amp looks but I think it's kinda ugly. The enclosure bound by the o rings are a nice touch but the skirted knobs and the plainness of the enclosure don't earn any brownie points - also there is no indicator on the knobs which show what volume the amp is turned to. Build qualty however is superb though it is rather a large portable amp...
I'm pondering whether to start trying a pre-power amp combo with the SM3/Pocket Reference II...
