A picture of my amp (Interesting)

Welle this is the inside of my amp. Dual Mono, all silver cabling by Siltech. Runs 1ohm speakers and sounds incredibly good. They use many small capacitors instead of a few big ones since they can charge and drop their power a lot quicker.

Cool, i never heard of using smaller caps before but it makes sense. maybe there should be a thread in the forums here for pic posting too, i dont really like going into the community section.

That's sometimes true. Lot of amp use multiple, smaller capacitors but I don't think I've seen so many as that before.

A few rare ones have this design. There is one for sale in the US which is very rare for 5500$ on audiogon. Quite a bargain on a wonderfull amp.

Classe was the first amp manufacturer (that I am aware of) to use multiple small filter caps in their power supplies, beginning in 1996 with the CA-"00" series. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the inside of the CA-300 with the small caps on the two lower boards:

Could be of course :-)


Sphinx has done this since the beginning. Single ended mosfet with no feedback :D
I know that Etalon, Gryphon and some others do too but not as much as the Sphinx. They have like a whole field of them. Classe makes good amps too, at least the old ones.
