I am starting to think more about the m63 over the pendulum, and after seeing the wiring on the affinity a2, Michael (not so new) makes a good point.
It is a bit more "creamy" or ..I hate to say this, but "warm"(I hate the word)..it is still in the clear vein, but warms things up more than the pendulum, whereas the pendulum is more subtle. Note that this is with the stock config/amorphous core Lundahls on input and output.
