Looking for FIRST HAND users of this device. I have read the reviews at AudioReZoo and have come away pretty confused. Seems like a "love / hate" relationship. Any comments ? Sean

I just recently bought a GTX-1 "store demo" and more than happy with it. I had heard about the glitches that some have reported but at the price I paid I felt I could take the chance on getting a glitchless unit. Well my gamble paid off in a big way. I was using a Sony30ES as a pre/pro and the GTX-1 is quite an improvment. It has renewed my appreciation for music by adding a level of SMOOTH detail that just was not there before. My system is decidedly H/T biased and it performs beautifully there as well. So far the only problem I have had is the mentioned lock-up issue. Also I dont much care for the remote as I could not find the code for my dvd player(Sony 550) but I have a Pronto so I can work around that.
If you can get the GTX at a good price, and can check it out before you buy, then get it. If nothing else, you will have a great sounding pre/pro to listen to while you save to move up into the much higher end processors.
My only complaint about the whole ordeal is that with my greater enjoyment of music, now I wonder what I am missing by not having a really good two channel system!

At its price point, US$1995, it was an exceptional product sonically.
It was quirky operationally, which is a polite way of saying the User Interface sucked.I had only two real issues with it:
1) If you left the GTX-1 on an input sending in DTS, and paused, or ended the material, in about 25-30 minutes the pre/pro would lock up so that only a hard power cycle would free it up.2) Even if a speaker was defined as large, Bass below the crossover frequency was routed to the subwoofer output, which could make some music a bit heavy for bass reproduction.
That's it. That's the sum total of its problems. I owned mine for about a year and a half, and just sold it to upgrade to a pre/pro with analog bypass.
You can read my review in the reviews section of the Asylum.
Hope this helped.
Isn't there another major issue? Like, Is the company still in business?Rob
He read the reviews at Audio Review -- which include several 0 star "reviews" slamming the manufacturer for going out of business.We have also exchanged e-mails on the topic and I have stated that Solo Electronics is out of business.
Perhaps its my fault for assuming the original poster was aware of this fact after reading Audio Review. I might be mistaken on that account.
