After spending 3 months with his HA160 Chuong has written up a in depth review with a wide range of musical source and compare the HA160 to a number of well known machines.
When talk about build quality Chuong concluded
…”Overall I think burson did an amazing job with the construction of the amp albeit the let down with the feet (Just nitpicking), making most of the competitors in the same price bracket (and many in higher price brackets) look and feel like toys.”
He concluded the overall sonic performance of the HA160
…” Overall this is a great amplifier. A real audio bargain to put it that way- It doesn’t sound speakerlike but rather lifelike with the appropriate source and ‘phones.
Its Solid state done right !”
