    Chain could/might be bettered, but putting off upgrades for now. Already committed to a Stellaris order for the next few months.

    Funny, just got a Hypsos/Oor in. Susvara arrives later this week. Currently listening to first few tracks through the Ferrum stack via Verité Closed. First impressions is that this is a cleaner, somewhat leaner amp than the SPL Phonitor SE I've been using. A touch lighter on the low end, but it comes through with more detail. I haven't messed with anything yet.

    What voltage settings did you go with, and how did tweaking change the sound?

    I ended up at 25.2v for my current settings. I tried the 22v and 30v settings and I found 22v made things smoother, but imaging was more left-to-right. 30v was more delineated, it was like increasing the contrast to high while losing lower level detail. I felt 25.2v was my personal sweet spot. I still have good staging on all axes, while having enough note delineation and attack.

    Yes the Oor is definitely a clean sounding amp. I wouldn't call it clinical, but compared to say, my Luxman, it's not as warm/romantic/rounded in presentation
