Class T-amps

Is the power supply linear or switched mode?

They...are Linear :eyebrows:

(Well, they wus when they gets here. Dont know how Linear they will be if I dont like them and start hammer adjustments)

Tee-hee!

Just as a general point about T-Amps, in my experience they seem to sound good even at a low volume. They don't seem to suffer from a 'sweet spot' in the same way as more conventional amps do.

So if you're not able to wack the volume up, or like me use one in the bedroom (no sniggering at the back ;)), they're ideal. :)

Is a ridiculously good amp at a stupidly low price. It can be upgraded with a rotary encoder volume control for just a few quid more and there are many, many sites detailing upgrade opportunities. I had the four channel version and it sounded great. In fact, I intend to get one of these at some point and put it in a nice box from modushop.

That looks a bit cheeky, on board heat sink and fan for the chipset!!!

Please start a DIY thread if you do, I'd be very interested in copying, if my skills are up to it...;)

Hi Will. Many people replace the fan and heatsink with a passive alternative since it is essentially the same as a northbridge heatsink in a PC. You really do not need any DIY skills at all to build one of these into a case with a PSU. Sure also sell the Meanwell SWMP's ( many do not like these, but when I built the other amp with one, there was absolutley no audible noise or hum that I could detect) and they also do an offer with the amp and PSU together.

Cheers Steve very tempting, especially with a passive heatsink, I can feel a project coming on...;)

OK Will. Check out this feature, I am sure Blair would not mind me linking to it...

Cheers Steve...presumably one can make them as a 'power amp' only, my idea was to have a couple of stereo power amps for bi-amping.
