The APPJ PA1501A arrived last week. I'm very happy with the sound! Driving a pair of Buschorn MkII/Fostex FE83's or Stax SR Lambdas (via SRD-7 adapter). Input is a SMSL SD-793 DAC & optical input from my iMac. The stock tubes (GE?) are pretty sweet, with smooth mids and a surprising amount of bass. I was able to get a matched set of RCA's from MDB (http://www.fourwater.com/compact/comp_c29.htm#6AD10) for $6 each. It will be interesting to compare the tubes after they burn in.
The amp doesn't lack for power in my small home office, capable of driving both the Fostex's and the Stax beyond what I would consider 'loud' listening levels. It gets pretty warm to the touch, but not enough to burn anything. I haven't turned it off yet, except to change tubes.
