Q- Did you do the install?
A- NO WAY. SHIPPED THEM BACK TO MERRILL. Do to my unyielding Audioquest Caldera cables, one of the speaker binding posts came loose. So Merrill was kind enough to ship both amps back on his dime, fix the loose post, upgrade the amps with the new fuses all at the same time. The man charged my for the cost of the fuses only! Who else does that!?

Q- I've never heard textured bass. Amazing!
A- Try Jennifer Warnes cut 'Way down deep'. Definitely came hear better definition down low.

Q- I find Merrill's policy of not allowing customers, or reviewers, inside of their amps interesting given that they are constructed of what are basically off-the-shelf SMPS1200 power supply and NC1200 amplifier modules. There is a single fuse on the SMPS 1200 PS board that could have been bypassed had Merrill included a fused power supply inlet like on my Acoustic Imagery Atsahs. Obviously, since I own the Atsahs, I think the Merrills are great sounding amps, I just find the level of secrecy about their internals to be curious, and maybe a bit inconvenient in the event they ever blow a fuse. Thanks for the tip on the Red fuse upgrade.
A- Merrill does a number proprietary modifications to the board besides soldering the fuses(who else does that?!). That is why you can hear big differences with any improvements on the VERITAS, whether the improvements are internal or external.

Q- I use SR RED fuses in all my components except for ARC. RED fuse just arrived for my Hegel H30. It's one of the best ROI in audio.
A- I plan on installing the SR Red fuse in all my compatible equipment as well.

Q- No $90 can purchase me a nice massage with happy ending instead.
A- Man, where do you live? around here try two big ones+! ;-)
