Pretty soon I'll be blasting HUGE wattage thru them. No more 2 watt 45s or 6 watt 6CA7s, no sir. I just orderd this powerhouse T Amp with an astounding 12 Watts into 8 Ohms!
I ordered this partucular one because the vendor was the only one with 8 Ohm numbers and he included the following totally accurate description:
"The Topping T-Amp is a so-called Class T integrated amplifier, based on the TA 2020 chipset. the chip makes use of a kind of "Digital Power Processing", this is, more or less, a Class D amplifier with high rate switching properties. That is why they put the word "digital" into it. Actually, there's nothing really digital inside, not in terms of D/A conversion. You can view the official TA2020 datasheet, with detailed tech specs, The Topping T-Amp is nothing else than a pure and simple application suggested by the chipset datasheet. No magic"
I also like the parts selection
Having it also means my grand daughter can safely be around the stereo or TV which is really reason number one!
Should be interesting...

Hi Bill,
It's been a while, good to see you still playin' with the 4Pis. I've recently moved on from my Theater 4s (too big) to a pair of 4 pis like yours and am enjoying them a lot. Use the Paramour 2A3's, Adcom 200w beast, and for the past year or so a couple of T amps. The 47hz Amp 6 is the same chip as the amp your getting so I think you will be in for a treat. I've also used the Sure 2x "100W" amp board sold by Parts Express and like it too, especially with the extra boost it gives rock and large scale orchestral music. The combination of power with refinement can't be beat anywhere near the price of these T amps. Dynamic, sweet, huge soundstage, quiet, transparent....all the code words for superior music reproduction. They only fall down a bit on the vague notion of emotion and "musicality", but only a bit. Still very enjoyable.
Resp.
Garland
