Hi Andy
That’s some recommendation “comfortably the best amplifier I have at home” given the kit in your sig.
Do you use the Tom Evans pre amp with the mini-T?

l must renew my signature! The Tom Evans is a phono stage btw( l sold this and the Helikon recently), but if you only need 1 input and can forgo remote control the Mini-T is a really remarkable sounding amplifier, and it is soooo musical , ultimately l will get a home audition of a Virtue Audio Sensation 901 amp, another T amp but with real power, RC, inputs, battery PSU and choc full of audio goodies and the Mini-T will go in a second system, T amps really have been a bit of an eye opener for me, and the Mini-T costs around £60 ish

Amplification and loudspeaker set up is at the moment being split into two groups, comprising the following;
1. Same sources as above; SONY TAF-770ES/SONY CDP761E/Cable Talk 3.1 loudspeakercable/ Harbeth Compact7ES2/ Stands
2. Virtue Audio Sensation M451battery PSU, ClarityCaps upgrade/ Sensation M901/Russian PIO caps with Teflon bypass caps upgrade/ JT Dynamic PSU with various tweaks/ Connex Audio 5N Litz loudspeaker cable, Impulse H6 Loudspeakers.

40 wpc I believe Andy. Doesn't seem a lot until you consider the efficiency of this type of amp.

I have every faith in International Rectifier ICs & Mosfets Steve
Looks like the standard modulation frequency is 400KHz which is pretty high indeed. If you look at the second link you can check out the performance, it looks good, so i live in hope
E2A:- Looks like just the kind of thing John needs to power his Volts
