Steve and all:

Now I'm only a dog, but you humans say that we pooches have good hearing. SO: Yes, while it does matter to some extent what type of capacitors or output devices a product has, or what the damn damping factor is, and so forth, BUT, at the end of the day, once you get past key parameters such as signal to noise and such, isn't it the way the amp SOUNDS that counts?

Steve, you sound as though you want to dismiss anything the Outlaws make just because, well, they're the Otulaws. Prehaps a calmer suggestion would be to look at the specs offered, match them against the price, see if the value sounds right, and then audition the product and see (hear!) if you like it. If you don't return it. If you do, forget about the specs and -- I shudder to suggest this -- listen to the music and enjoy the benefits that the product brings you, rather than worrying about the name on the outside, the parts on the inside, or whether your doggie dish is bigger than mine.

But then, what do I know, I'm only a dog.
