Class T-amps

[Batty]

I got the Topping T20 - same as the T21 minus headphone output.
running a little unity gain valve buffer into fed by my pc via a 1543 NOS dac, speakers are 86dB/1W/1m used pretty well near field. Quite impressive I must say for the $$ outlay a neat setup.

Very impressed so far with the Mini-T - not had a chance to properly try it in my main system (although when I did for a couple of hours, I wasn't suddenly wanting to throw away my Creek) but in the dining room it has more than acquitted itself with the performance. Very busy couple of weeks, so probably won't be able to evaluate it properly for a while, but for what I wanted it for (a small footprint, and a cheap purchase) I'm exceptionally happy.

Wow, another convert

“Wow, another convert ”

Nah, he’s still deaf from Huckleberry, erm Whittled, err, that loud place where he caught that bad bout of audiophilia
Give him a bit to recover and he’ll get at least as sane as he was………..perhaps

That don't give much scope for improvement!

Not sure I was effervescing particularly on the Mini-T YET anyway, give me a chance to have another listen, and revise on my Little Book of Hi-Fi Clichés and I'll be back!

I've just treated my PC to one of these, based on the TA2020. I already had a 5A PSU so this was pretty much the best deal going for an amp only.

The seller even enclosed an OFC 3.5mm to twin phono cable. I used some spare Kimber PSB cable for the speaker connections. It drives my Videotone Minimax IIs very nicely indeed.

I was very tempted by that one too, Martin, but needed a PSU on top, so went Mini-T.

Looking at the internal picture of yours I don't know how they can make them, ship them and post them for that money and still make a modicum of profit after the ebay fees and the seller's time are taken into account - but they obviously do make something to make it worth their while. Glad you're enjoying yours.

I took the lid off to look inside and had exactly the same thought. Great value for money.

The economies of scale that China offers is mind boggling, when I built my PC/Tower I wanted the best possible fans money could buy, and asked for the most expensive available...£1.85 plus VAT. The packaging alone looked £3 pounds worth, the fan was/is a work of art!

I just got a new HD for my computer, seagate 7.2k, 32mb buffer, 500Gb...£22!!!

And I got the Muse M21 T-Amp for £25 (plus P&P), from a guy in HK, so heaven knows what the cost price is at the factory...

I would be interested to hear how you get on with this Martin, I'm looking for a small low cost amp for my study?
