    Boulder Amps Back from Upgrades

    After two months waiting the big moment is here. I can hardly wait to fire them up later today.

    What amazed me is they did not just replace the Electrolytics, they replaced the boards with brand new boards including the accumulated most recent design changes! They even paid the shipping back! Simply shocked and ashamed that I was getting testy about it taking so long.

    Lets hope they sound as good as they look. Here is a pic or two.

    Thumbs up Looks good Ken.

    Those are some of the most orderly boards I've ever seen. Golly gee willikers!

    I bet they sound as good as they look.
    Out.

    Yes, it should be fun. Bring some CD's.

    The Boulders do require a complete re-setup of the system but are already sounding quite nice. I think these may be the keepers.

    OK, so maybe you would`nt trade your wife for a couple more Boulder amps, but how are these sounding? They have quite the reputation!

    Detailed description of sound, please.

    When I was last at the CES, I was demoing the Boulder Amps and all agreed that they were best used for "ROCK" music.
