I think the reviewer described exactly what Lejonklou is all about: hearing and enjoying the music played.
It's great to get acknowledged what you worked for, Fredrik.

I have just reread the review. As I stated earlier you should be proud. I really do not think the review could be much better.
When one gets what reproducing music at home should be all about one will never turn away again. To keep such a clean focus is hard but you have succeded both with this forum and your equipment. That is really something! Congratulation.

Congrats on a good review!
One thing that pussels me is the recommendation in the review to turn the Tundras off when not using them?
Only time my monos been off was when I had them upgraded to "Tarandus"

Very cool that the review is now on their website.

And thank you maffe! In the manual it says "We recommend it to be switched off when not in use for a longer period of time". The main reason is to save energy.

If it's actually not used for longer periods of time - let's say it only plays music every second week - switching it off after each period of use could also prolong the life of the amp. But switching it on and off several times a day is likely not beneficial. These things are not easily calculated. The power supplies have been tested and have an estimated time between failure of 440 000 hours when running continually in a 50°C environment. That's 50 years! Switching on and off causes heating and cooling, which can shorten the lifespan, while the time it's switched off will also save it some running hours.
