If you are comfortable with a bit of DIY you could investigate some of the 'chipamp' designs that are around. You can probably get some of them ready-built in the USA too.
I use one I designed: it's two mono channel boards each with its own rectifier bridge built in. The only other things you need are a case and a mains transformer. [image: http://www.at-view.co.uk/images/Components/chipamp.jpg] Power ratings depend largly on the transformer capacity and the amount of heatsinking, but with a 160VA, 18V secondaries, Xformer, mine drives Linn Isobariks (not known for being an easy load) quite effectively. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21050 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
