That would appear to be an earlier prototype from the position of the ports and posts.
it is quite an early prototype, however, I imagine it wouldn't change ALL that much from these inner workings.

So it would look better in photographs. Randomly oriented wires have lower crosstalk; neatly bundled and "squared off" wires increase crosstalk and hum but make the purchaser feel they are getting something more to justify the high price. Welcome to high end audio

I can't wait until someone mentions that this amp won't sound/perform any different than a $300 AVR.

A $300 AVR? No way. I'm sure there are plenty of $500 AVR's that will give the A1400 a run for it's money though.

As long as that $300 AVR isn't being overdriven, I'd say you couldn't pick out from the A1400-8 in a double-blind test. I'm sure alan would concur.
Now stop being a flame war seeder, you naughty boy.

not if driven with reasonable limits -- which would pretty much rule out Randy's basement as a testing location.
