    Default First batch to Holland

    Well the first very small batch of M50 Pro Power Amp (2) and M100 Pro Power Amp (1) with the M50P Pro Pre incl simply DAC (2) are on the way to Holland in the morning. I am just week or so late to Flu Bug, but still worried they may hate them.








    B]So comments please on style would be most welcome.[/B]

    Not powder coated but hard black anodized. And solid Aluminium Knobs, transistor are on ceramic heat spreader and the pre has SECA Headphone output stage at 2W.
    When OFF and in idle mode the pre has a low voltage power on circuit from +-25V to +-5V to keep caps formed in psu stage, this also helps to reduce the misused start up sequence of pre then power thump.
    So on standby the pre takes about 2W and full ON 25W.

    I think they'll love them. The understated looks are just my sort of thing. I hate 'bling'. Bet they sound great too .

    I am biased, (not SECA Biased) but the prototypes were great and on Art Speak speakers were fantastic.

    +1 (with bells on), with everything you said. I hate bling, and those amps look beautifully made and very classy. Aesthetically, they tick all the right boxes for me, and I'm sure if I heard them, they'd do the same there, too!

    Awesome stuff, Colin. If you don't mind me asking, what cost is involved?

    Mike, it's a slight improvement on the DAC in the Claymore.
    And Hugh Thomson did the chassis designs and more, he just will not sit still. lol
