Looks to be a bargain gainclone and those using them want to
modify the power supply and get it off batteries.

I see the slot for this as a dedicated computer amp, but the
users are using it with their high end components like turntables
and getting a good response. Also some entrepreneurs are doing
upgrade tweaks.

(parts List and construction details)

There seems to be a lot out there about this but it's all new
to me.

I'll be interested to see where this goes. What I noticed was that
Godzilla was using the same speaks I am (but not in a straight pipe
which is the Fostex 127e.

Where would you say the sweetspot is on the frequency spectrum of these amps, or would you consider them an all-around performer? For example, in general, SS excels in bass, SET in mid. I'd like to know if these would work well powering a supertweeter in a multi-amp system.

gar.

We see here what works with the larger builds, but what would be a good match is desing for nearfield computer speaks with this amp?
Any suggestions or build topics? I am firmly entrenched in the
single driver camp (mostly because I do not have an electronics background.)

Groovy. The planars and the SI amp come in package for $70
retail. The ad copy is great too: "after _months_ of research...." [emphasis added].

So the planars are cardboard with transducers running through the
Sonic Impact amp? Or are they true planars membranes? I remember an elegant planar design put forth at one of the zen forums-- that was a long time ago. Construction details were never forthcoming from the author.

This is obviously a 'high retail' product. But I certainly haven't
seen it or anything like it in the stores. Not to be snooty, but it
sort of looks like something found at your favorite Box Box store.

As to the Jordan, yes I've been fascinated by Jim Griffin's build
for years. But the price of the Jordan is getting further out of reach as our currency devalues and the war goes on. I good looking
build from BrianGT. My plan was to retrofit 2 well made carcasses
I have with the Jordan 92s or a single driver equivalent of high quality but lower price point.

Thanks for the BrianGT link. It shows a lot of detail on that build.
