I'm working on getting a loaner/review unit to compare to my reference system.

I found the Pure2 to be pretty resolving and very spacious for such a small amp. Note edges were a little on the soft side; my Picollo sounds more contrasty in the comparison. It's a very pleasing sound. On the down side I felt the center image was stretched thin and a little too left and right. The Picollo has a much better center image and it's one of the main reasons I chose it over the Pure2.

Patiently waiting on that amp only Leckerton. No digital volume control please!

Shane, Nick has mentioned he's working on three amps: one with analog pot, one with digital volume control, and something special he wouldn't say.

Eww...soft note edges might be a deal breaker for me. Usually that means fuzzier or more diffuse imaging.
