very interesting.... $39 amp gets good review

[psonic]

I have not done any mods to it but I'm sure the sky is the limit, so to speak. I just want to hear it on sensitive speakers for starters! The T-Amp instructions claims it puts out more power when using the AC power adaptor, so adding a nice beefy 13V transformer may be a good start. And I'm sure the volume control on it is only worth about $.50! The list goes on and on! Actually, Teac makes a 3 channel amp based on this chipset that goes for $100-200 online. The main difference being build quality and built-in power supply.

Anyone know if they sell in Canada - I will buy one and compare it to Set amps at m dealer through my speakers or the AN E's which are both very easy to drive easy impedence speakers.

RGA, you are welcome to borrow mine for a review. You have great speakers for it. I have no use for it through the next few weeks as I have no speaks to really use it with yet. It would be nice to get your opinion (and other audiophiles here with capable speakers) before I go buy sensitive speakers for it. It only weighs ~2lb so shipping would only be a few dollars. Or maybe you will buy one online and review it? That would work also...

-nice offer psonic!

Let's continue to have this ball rolling

I'd look forward to your review. Also, versus your Sugden amp as well as the SETs....

Me too!

I have one, and its already in Nanaimo

I figure for $40.00 or less you can't go too wrong. I should think it would work better on my speakers than most - while I do have this skepticism of it - what the hell - i was skeptical of the Little RAT phono stage too and it's a stonking good little phono amp. And hey the AX Two is 1/4 the price of a lot of other speakers and IMO is clearly better - price and quality don;t always go hand in hand and this thing - well if they;re trying for a SET sound --- IMO that;s the RIGHT sound to be going after --

2.5 lbs regular mail I should not get hit for duty - is there anywhere I can buy it online? I'm currently evaluating a Skylan turntable base so that comes first but school is piling up too.

My Wharfedales are 95db 8 ohm beasties too - and I would not mind getting rid of that Marantz 4300 which is a giant dust collecting paper weight. Why do I not take my own advice and NOT buy a receiver *shakes heads rolls eyes.* Oh well two years left on the warranty I should be able to offload it. Hell if this Class T amp is ONLY as good as the receiver it would be worth it at 1/10 the price.

I wasn't as impressed with the amp as everyone else seems to be... If you want you can borrow mine. I am using a 12v 1000mA wall wart from Partsexpress to power it.

It definately doesn't power my mirages very well, but your AN's might be good with it. I noticed that it clipped real early and there was no bass. But then maybe that's what SET's sound like.

There was no where i could find selling them in Canada, i had to order it direct from the manufacturer... and he shipped it without me getting snagged for customs, but i had to pay full retail. You might want to get someone to relay it to you from the US.

3 things I am curious about:

1) This Class T amp
2) "Little Rat phono stage"(is it cheap?)
3) Those stick on speakers @ Target
