Might you have a copy of that review by any chance, as I am not able to locate that issue for  sale anywhere on the web.....

Thanks so much in any event ....

@ teo_audioWell I have one now, and its most certainly NOT syrupy.... Its VERY distinctive sounding from most other great solid state amps, and even great tube amps for sure... But I know earlier top of the line Monster Cable (even Cardas) speaker wire and interconnects made it sound way too warm, but with neutral cables it does many things few amps  are capable of at any price, IMHO. Especially for instrumental harmonics., and note decay portrayal..Spectra l& Bryston it is most certainly is not!!!! Awhile ago I was able to to attend Apogee’s Jason Bloom’s (RIP) demo of either Divas, or the Scintillas with a bridged pair of the DR-3 and the sound was simply glorious, not too warm at all, I guess the amps complemented Apogee’s ribbons rather well....

Thanks so much!!! Appreciate it greatly! Do you know if that amp was ever review by the The Absolute Sound?
