Anyone got any recommendations for a stereo Power amp (Ready built)
I like the Nu-Force power amps but boy are they expensive..I've been using a little Sure Electronics 'TA2024C' all day i've grown like it's 10 Watts
Anyone (DIY out of the Equation)
A few on Ebay, not tried any of them myself mind

Yes.The Hlly T-amp 90.I have one and I find it excellent.Great bass and plenty power,up to 90w into 4 ohms,and around 30-40w into 8 ohms.My first inpression of it was how valve-like it sounds,but with SS grip and power in the bass.Kinda the best of both worlds really.Depending on how much power you need,you could get the T-amp 20.Less power but half the price.

Well that DAC-01 is the same as my Maverick D1, It only has switchable tube on pre-output not headphones.. i love my Maverick one but i had trouble at first with low impedance headphones, well worth the cutter i gave for it tho.

What's the tube output sound like?

Never used it in tube mode, i'm not a tube fan tbh..the Maverick has a cheap 6N3 fitted (i think) really wants swapping for 5670

bel canto make some lovely class d if you can find at the right price
The t-amp 90 is a power amp right? Would this be an effective addition to my Audiolab 8000S, which can be used in pre amp mode?

Should work fine I think.
Or a single input intergrated, what it be Alli?:)
Should work fine I think.
But is it good enough?

Anyone tried the Topping TP20 (TO2020) or TP30 (TO2040) ? The TO2020 could possibly sound best?
To2020 sounds better than the TO2040 from what I have read.

The TDA8920BTH from Philips is a very nice sounding Classd amp.

Hi Joe
It is a requirement of AOS and something the forums owner pretty much insists on. There is plenty of evidence around the forum to back this up.
AOS is a pretty friendly place and much of this vibe is because there are few members hiding behind their keyboards as unknown entities. We avoid this by asking for new members to give a first name a basic location and pop into the welcome section and say hello, tell us a bit about themselves, system taste in music etc. Think of AOS as a club if you were a member and someone new came in and did not at the least say hello you might wonder about them.
Its up to you whether you want to say hello or not but the membership may wonder why you don't want to.....
