Thanks for this excellent review.

Reading your description of the Penguin Caffeine Amp, I ordered one last night. I tremendously enjoy the qualities of the sound through a well-designed and elegantly simple amp. The anticipation while I await the arrival of the Caffeine Amp is delicious. |

There will be a "total" version with gold caps, 4-channel circuitry and opamp rolling. It will cost $20 more as the standard version. |
