Absolutly easy on beating on sound quality and value.

Abrahamsen v.20 up less than twice the price twice as nice on sound quality also better looking *dirol*
Based on what evidence? Have you heard the Pulse or Tucana?
Actually the RRP of the Pulse was about £1200. Your 'UP' version was £900 - and no phono stage. Once you factor in a decent phono stage, your 'hurdy-gurdy' amp doesn't look quite as good value, does it?
They are both good amps and it does not have to be
'mines better than yours' lets leave that to the playstation fanboys
Only person to compare the pulse to the abrahamsen is colin at iq and he prefered the abrahamsen. But that is only his opinion.
As for value for money, no one here can deny that the 1000 va transformer, 1000 000uf capacitance and the 12 output devices is a massive value for money. Sure its only 70w per channel but i bet this amp can drive any speaker it desires with running out of juice. In the same way the phono stage on the leema adds value with its quality.
Each to each other own and enjoy the music
What f*****g planet are you from? I was responding to the Mad One, who, it seems, is judging our amps without hearing them.
Yes, Colin is the only one to own both. No evidence at all. He is selling his own babies, so he isn't going to say that his bundles can't better Leema. And if I remember correctly he sold his Pulse long before Abrams came along. He had the Pulse for over a year, then he purchased the Sudgen A21. But he hasn't directly compared both side by side.
(Before you mention anything I'm perfectly chilled. I get p****d off with your digs you class as humour. Geddit?!)
And no, since joining here in 2008 I have never slagged off any component unless I've had first hand experience. (A lesson to Vlad as well).
