They...are Linear
(Well, they wus when they gets here. Dont know how Linear they will be if I dont like them and start hammer adjustments)
Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

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

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.
Cheers, Will
