A lot more detail was coming through, took me a little while to adjust as there was a lot more information coming from the speakers and my system just had more energy and presence.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
