    Default Big hello from Team Amptastic

    Hi all, we've finally decided to take the plunge and "officially" join in on some of the action on the Art of Sound forums. Whilst many of you may have already spoken with us or purchased one of our fine TA2020 based Mini T amplifiers, it's high time we got involved on the front line

    We are a small team of audio lovers who are just as interested as you are in pure and fulfilling sound quality. Geeking out on specs and drooling over exotic hardware is the norm!

    We'd also like to extend our warmest thanks to many AoS members, who have helped us get this far in a crowded (and sometimes confusing) world of HiFi gear. A special shout out to Jerry (jandl100) who suggested we get more involved in the forum world a long time ago - hey Jerry how're you keeping?

    The plan is to answer your questions (just drop us a message), run competitions to win gear, organise some group buys and get your feedback to help build better products that everyone will love.

    All the best,
    Chris & everyone at ATUK

    Hi Chris, welcome to the forum from me I think I got lost at Scalford this year as I managed to hook up with Jerry & his system last year, not so this one I'm afraid Pity as last year he had the best sound of the show imho...

    Enjoy the forum & all the best to you!
    Bests, Mark

    Hi there Chris,
    Here's a very warm welcome from me to The AoS.

    Now then.............
    I have a question for you.
    The name: 'Amptastic' - Could you tell me when you first used it?

    Hi Chris and team, welcome from me too.

    I included a Mini-T in the "Cheap as Chips" room at Scalford - running a Fiio E7 Headphone DAC as pre-amp driving a pair of Wharfedale Super Diamonds (MK1) to show how good a cheap desktop system with a tiny footprint could sound - quite a few people were surprised, though a room 7.3m x 5.5m was a bit mean for such diminutive kit!

    Under normal circumstances, my Mini-T hides behind a decorative plate in the dining room with a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3s - and the Mini-T does a surprisingly good job of making them go loud!

    I'm sure you will pick up loads of good intel from the forums (and sales as well) - but most importantly, hope you have fun - enjoy AoS.

    Hi Chris.

    Very happy owner of two Mini-Ts, bi-amping my speakers. The sound is incredible

    The bass using one Mini-T was superb, but from two... wow! It's taut and deep. The Mini-Ts certainly show up the limitations of my speakers.

    I haven't forgotten - I owe you a review... still working on it, trying to avoid cliches. But these amps are so darn good, it's difficult to avoid the hackneyed hi-fi phrases.
