(To clarify power On sequence: back panel switch on - wait 10 sec. - press front power button turning light from amber to red - wait until red light turns blue then play). I tried to give a user friendly basic analysis of this no nonsense amplifier. A few things I didn't say is that this stereo amp can also be used as a mono block if you buy a second one and use in bridge mode but that info was stuff I thought was mentioned in the product description online so didn't think it was that valuable to mention. Also, I did not mention that I think this amp gives a very neutral and true sound signature that is great for appreciating a music mix as it was intended by its creator.
