Re: [slim] T-Class amp recommendations

Seems likely that "class D" was not copyrighted by them, only their own implementation was protected, hence the clones. They are the future of amplification in the same way that digital cameras eradicated film... -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x

For it's price range I don't think you will do any worse. I have always used a sound card. https://www.amazon.com/ART-USB-Phono-Plus-PS/dp/B000BBGCCI/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8=1511957436=8-21=phono+preamp For this device, the direction of signal flow is from the low signal level analogue domain
