Tony,

Thanks much. It looks like I am purchasing an Emitter 1 Ex. Blue from a friend and am quite looking forward to trying it out.

[I am very much a tube (SET) guy, and have been disappointed by every single solid-state amp I have tried that is "supposed" to sound like tubes. But I have never heard ASR or Dartzeel. So, we'll see!]

Mantis,

You said in these forums a year or so ago: :BTW: I heard the ASR last weekend and am VERY happy I didn't trade my 210's for it. Phew, that was a close one ;)"

I have to ask: what did you not like about the Emitter, and why did you change your mind? Thanks.
