Hello Everybody, Tripath filed for bankruptcy protection. Another Electronics Company bought them up. Production of the Tripath TA-2024 (15W by 2) has stopped. Tripath chips are still being produced by the new parent company but only the 100-watt and above chips. The Sonic Impact T Amp with the curved plastic top has the exact same chip and exact same output specs as the Sonic Impact Super T Amp. The difference was how they were packaged and what type of input and outputs they had on the box. The T amp has squeeze terminals and Super T has binding posts and gold plated RCAs. The case on the Super T looks more audiophile while the case on the original T amp looks more Mattel. The Super T Amp is no longer in production. They are available from people that bought them for $159 and now want to double their money. The Super T Amp NOS sells for $299.95 http://cgi.ebay.com/SONIC-IMPACT-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER-SUPER-T-AMP-5062-TAMP-NEW_W0QQitemZ290219886520QQihZ019QQcategoryZ3280QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 That is a bunch of money to spend when the Sonic Impact Gen 2 looks nice and sells for $80. The Gen 2 also has a cleaned up and redesigned circuit board. The Super T Amps are notorious for cold solder joints. Sonic Impact Technologies bought up every TA-2024 they could get their hands on. The Gen 2 has squeeze terminal speaker outputs, a single 3.5 stereo input (which comes with a 3.5 male to stereo female RCA adapter), and 3.5 stereo headphone jack. It will run for about 12 hours nearly wide open on 8 AA batteries and also has a wall wart. It is 15x2 watts just as the other Sonic Impacts were. Hope this helps. I have a JPEG of the external photo layout sheet but it is to big to attach.
