    Ronnie James Dio

    I thought you were joking first, but I think this is serious :) I think a lot of people including myself would indeed put Dio in the same league as Freddy. Surprised you don't. In my opinion, I don't think they are comparable, both legendary and tie up for top 2 on my list...

    One more thing, the only adjustment this amp has is “battery” power. Apparently Brian likes it with low battery. Knight Audio seems to have emulated this with a knob. Curious if it corresponds to one of the advanced power amp settings.
