Best TA2020 Amp On Ebay

Kitarist · 22nd December 2009, 09:11 PM

Hi Guys!!!

I was searching for a nice TA2020 amp on ebay and i found out that there are like thousands of them now.

I would like to know which ones really shine in terms of quality and are the best for the price?

There are still some questions about the Lepai at the momment. Near as I can figure there are two versions of the circuit board and neither one includes all the protection diodes.

IMHO: It can end up being one of the better 2020's if you are willing to modify it but you will end up spending much time and money. I have issues with the way diodes are placed in the power supply and over temperature protection circuit. It's been 3 weeks since I ordered replacement 2020 chips but they haven't arrived yet so I can't tell if my parts placement is correct.

Lepai is cheap and works best once modded. Arjen's Mk3 TA2020 doesn't need modding and sounds great as soon as you power it up. 41Hz.com AMp6 is worth considering also.

You can still get Arjen Helder's TA2020 MKII for $26.99 USD...Shipped..You can't beat That...It's a DIY, but that does not Matter with Board that sounds as Nice as this Does...

I've been looking at buying a TA2020-amp myself, and everyone here is recomending arjens DIY kits (oh really, DIY-forum recommend DIY. Shocking!). I want a case for my amp, but where do you get those or do you make them yourself?
