We are waiting your reviewNeed to find some time!
Thank you, it will take a while because Flux instructed me that the amplifier needs at least 150 hours of use to let the big capacitors settle down. So I am going to let it playing music 24/7 for a while.We are waiting your review
Appreciate your reviews, take your timeThank you, it will take a while because Flux instructed me that the amplifier needs at least 150 hours of use to let the big capacitors settle down. So I am going to let it playing music 24/7 for a while.
Finally unpacked... it's a beast!
The Neotech cable is very high quality and the remote control solid aluminium.

I have ordered this one in Titanium color ! I can't wait
This is the first time I've seen a manufacturer add a high-level cable to the kit. Flux is really great.The Neotech cable is very high quality and the remote control solid aluminium.
Can you take a photo of the cable where you can see the brand of the cable? Thank you.
I think it's a downside to this amplifier. I don't want to pay for "premium" power cables, but I'm forced to with Flux as it's included. Would much rather see the product being sold for less, with a standard cable. Let it be up to the customer if they want to spend money on cables, don't force it on them, IMO.This is the first time I've seen a manufacturer add a high-level cable to the kit.

"Premium" power cable is optional, just the way you like it If you don't need it, you don't have to pay for it…I think it's a downside to this amplifier.

Hello guys,"Premium" power cable is optional, just the way you like it If you don't need it, you don't have to pay for it…
Just to avoid any misunderstanding,
The Neotech power cable and the remote control are optional with an additional charges.
A single mentor amplifier with a regular "black" cable and without remote is currently on offer for $1199.
The Neotech upgrade cable is $100 extra.
The remote control is $50.
You don't have to buy the Neotech cable but the manufacturer suggests that this is a specialty matched cable to extract the best possible performance of the amplifier.

This flexibility can satisfy any customer.
If I decide to buy, I will probably get a set with a remote control and a premium cable. In my opinion this is beneficial.
