ADS amp on ebay

spooney · 1st April 2008, 11:56 PM

I see people talking about them from time to time so I figured i'd tell everyone that there is a ADS amp in real nice shape for like 50 bucks on ebay. Heres the item number : 160224782670

Nice amp if it were not broken. Still if the price remains low it could be a fun little project.

I wonder if this is one of those models that uses STK power modules??? Sometimes the modules can be difficult to come by, and expensive depending on your source for parts , Nice looking amp though.

I found an STK for my blaupunkt in the UK, price was good too. Unfortunately the amp is still all wacked after I tossed it in and I got onto more important things. Need to get back to it. The old STK shorted rail to speaker but would blow fuse. Now it works but offset is huge or something and no music comes out. Only good part is there are few other parts in the amp compared to typical. I ran that thing silly at 2 ohms on subs for years, can't blame it a bit.

Hard to tell from those pics. In the Blaupunkt you can't miss the huge STKs, and pretty sure it has BJTs in the PS. I can't make out a long row of leads like the STK has in those photos. The two STK and PS driver are the only ICs in the Blaupunkt. There was a larger A/D/S that had a channel out or something I nearly bought a while back. IIRC it may have gone for ~75 but was more than 2 channels.
