Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[walpurgis]

There's another make that seems to bypass most people. Adcom, if you don't know them, check out their amps. I've got the GFA 555 on my watch list.

A mate has a Nak PA-5 and I've been bugging him to sell it to me for years. I'm glad to see the one in Kent being sold - sets a reference price point where I can continue to bug my friend.

It is an absolute beast - a two man lift - unless you have been into serious weight lifting at the gym.

I have actually got another amp on the way from China ebay. It's a TPA3116 integrated, just for a bit of fun and it cost me a whopping £17.

Here's a bench test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6WkVSr_Hn8 Looks good!

Rumour has it that these are a bit special and very nice sounding.

(yes, I do have a suitable PSU)

Looks good mate,.

I have a "Burson Bang" on trial here. It's very small but very impressive.

Oh!

Maybe I will not use that as a price point reference with my friend. I think he has in mind that his is worth upwards of a grand.

Had to look that one up. The Burson looks about the same size as the TPA3116.

I've got an SMSL Mini T Amp that's about half as big, it's really tiny, but sounds very decent. It always amazes me the something the size of a fag packet can drive a pair of speakers. It drives my big Tannoys Ok.

I'm getting very good sq out if it, easily as good as a lot of Amps I've heard and the thing it tiny. It's also got the quietest background noise of ANY amplifier I have ever heard. Simply silent. Even of max there is no noise. Nothing.

I'm impressed but it is a fair investment, £500? Still, it's perfect for small spaces. Seriously impressive.

You're as bad as me. Always pissing about with different bits of equipment!

What impressed me recently was a mid seventies Cambridge Audio P80 integrated. It really is nice sounding. It's a follow on from the classic P40, P50, P60, P70 series. Made when Cambridge were a prestige brand, not Richer Sounds cheapos.
