ZR1600 and Joan Osbourne

Been playing the ZR1600 to "burn it in" (though I'm skeptical about burn in for electronics, now a few hours for a speaker system or cartridge/stylus is something else) for a few weeks now.
This solidstate, Tripath digital chip, amp paired with the Yamaha CX-2 playing the Phase Linear P-530 makes some scintillating, gorgeous sound.
Got the new Joan Osborne cd from the library today. Man, everything she sings I like. I should actually buy her albums. Well, I do have one.
Vocals are as smooth as liquid. The midrange sound of this amp is heavenly. Bass is powerful and taut, the treble is superb.
Yes, I loved the Yamaha M-80, but this ZR1600 makes the ache go away. Anyway, the Yamaha CX-2 preamp is controlling things, and I still have my several other Yamaha gear, including the very fine M-70 amp.
