Proved that despite its huge size the CD3000 can be shoved down one's throat.

Well I received the last monster from Rudi, the RP33, the most similar sounding SS amp to the one Nik has, and that was designed for the Qualias, the RP010, what can I say as my first impressions....I'm speechless, listening to Joe Satriani on my CD3000....OMG!!!!!

Better than the RP31, which I love, more punch in the bass, that kind of bass slam will make you sweat...LOL...better soundstage, better details, more liquid amp, and the most effortless amp I have ever heard, more impressions to come, no pics for now, just the ones here:

Guys, Rudi is playing hard, pay attention to those amps, no jokes, this amp beat any tube or SS monster I have heard to the date, pretty soon we will have a minimeet in NY, and we will compare it to the HR-2, Maestro, and some others, even without being fully burned in, it is simply delicious to be here hearing it.....

The details of the construction all the bolts orientated in the same position, the circuits and layouts very clean the wires very nice routed, and shielded, a very nice construction, same sensual/sexual knob, with the silkiness of the ALPs, two inputs selectable from the front, and same two jacks for different sensitivities headphones, all details covered, ground loop breaker....etc...

Whoa! Rudi has come a very long way in a very short time. This amp looks amazing, and the NYC meet promises to be as lively and interesting as alwaye with this RP-33 in attendance.

Thanks for the quick first impressions and pics, Sov.

Yep, that is a dual mono amp, with dual PSU, very nice slim case, and it weights a ton, while I get the package, I thought that Rudi were mailing two amps at least by mistake, the box was huge, and the FedEx guy refused to carry it to my apt, so I had to go down and pick it up, sadly and instantly I noticed why he refused...LOL...

The dual mono sounds exciting to me. Any chance of an audition?

I asked Rudi about getting one that's Balanced, and he said he wasn't going to make them with that option.
