Nah, those 3 footers are supporting 27Kg - once in place, I think it's staying.

You could probably achieve the same thing by suspending the amp with some string.

And my new amplification has arrived and been installed ....
A Virtue Audio "Sensation" (luv the name) M451 class D integrated amp, see it sitting under the rather larger Minging Da valve amp. Cute, innit.
It came with the standard (i.e. cheap!) PSU box - but without proper cabling to connect the two. That's now sorted, at least temporarily, and the amp is up and going.
It turns out to be very dependent on power cable into the PSU box - I started off with a Naim mains cable that just happened to be lying around untried.
Oh dear, what a disappointing amp - it was "OK", but not much more than that, kind of bland and a fair bit uninteresting.
It was only after a few hours of hoping the amp would warm up and improve that I remembered the power cable being used was not one of my regulars. Swapped it over and ..... light and life and MUSIC!!
A friend had recommended the £30 Naim mains lead a few months ago and I'd never got around to trying it. Sheesh. What a load of crap.
Anyhoo - my usual Nordost Magus power lead worked its magic and brought the amp to life.
I sense the sceptics rolling their eyes heavenwards -- but no, I'm a firm believer in the benefits of mains cables, although it's rare in my experience for differences to be this obvious.
Early days yet, but as usual I am enjoying class D sound - it is quite distinctive, there's a 3D roundness to the imaging that seems real, and a palpability and presence to the sound that just hits the right buttons for me.
As usual, it lacks the ultimate in rez, rapid runs on a geetar, for example, tend to blur together. And with the Sensation amp the bass is just a little woolly - quite a contrast to the almost stark tautness of the bass from Amptastic class D amps, for example.
But the Word is that the more expensive PSUs available for the amp provide worthwhile improvements, so I'll be investigating those, I think - I've been particularly recommended the battery PSU option. Yep, I may well put in an order.

Nice one Jerry . Like you I'm a big fan of T amps and use my Amptastic Mini- 1 on a regular basis . When I saw this amp for sale my finger was hovering over the ' purchase ' button . Unfortunately other things have to take precedence at the minute. Although I know that mains cables can and do make a very audible difference I'm quite surprised at the extent of the change different mains cables have made to this amp. I now use a 12V car battery with my Amptastic and it does make a big difference so everything is worth investigating I reckon.

Brian
