I'm happy with the a-s1200, it has plenty of power, looks good and is really quiet. Does everything I need it to do wonderfully without a bunch of built in junk I don't want.
I have had the a-s1200 for a couple of weeks. Got it on Amazon, had to wait a couple of months but they had it for $1,560 new so I couldn't pass on it. Sounds great with my Technics 1500C, E-30 DAC and La Scala 2's.
