Anyone read the Widescreen Review article on the PS Audio GCA-MC?

I haven't been able to find a copy of this magazine near me but would someone sum up the findings on the PS-Audio amp they are reviewing?

overall good, bad, so-so?

I can't upload it to post (since the pdf file is larger than whats allowed, unless someone can tell me how to get around the file size requirement for a pdf format) but I can email it to you if you'd still like to see it.

Here's the conclusion:

PS Audio has delivered a solid argument
for the case that we are in a renaissance
era of development of switched-mode
power amplifiers. Their GCA-MC delivers all
of the virtues of Class D operation, relatively
low weight and heat production, in a small
chassis for its power output. In addition, its
inherently linear operation at all listening
levels in my primary room brought me hours
of satisfaction during its service in my
review system. It did so with nary a hint of
signature, providing me with a powerful yet
clear picture of whatever media I happened
to be listening to at any point in time. Its
price point is in the middle of the pack for
high-end multichannel amplifiers, while its
performance should catch a few people's
attention for being well beyond middle of
the pack!

thanks for the reply, I just got to go to a bookstore today to read the article.

While basically a positive review. They didn't do any specific measurements. I guess we need to wait for the stereophile review for some more opinions.

Personally I am mostly interested in the GCC control amp as opposed to the GCA.

I'll be intested to see when the GCC-MC comes out how it fares in reviews.
