Not the JA 500.
It is the most realistic linear sounding amp in my stable. It had the Da Hong input stage mod, perhaps this removed some of the above mentioned colorations.
I remember reading HP and he thought the 500 was the more "detailed" amp than the 200 or 80. I find the 500 to breath life into the music without adding any coloration.
There is no top end roll off with the 500.

If you are looking for reality and not tube warmth I suggest the 500.
