No no no no no. NO!
I recently built a pair of FE167E BR cabs and had them hooked up to a lightly modified S5 PP tube amp. Okay, I thought, not bad... Maybe the speakers need to break in. My SI T-Amp arrived today. ****. Uhm. It beats the hell out of my s5 amp. 30 bucks + batteries. sigh. back to your regularly scheduled whatever. |

I concur.
I have one playing into my large corner horns 105dbw and 5 w of SI magic. SERIOUSLY good. in fact i have bought a second one so that i can biamp one of my own design of speakers. If you look on the NAIM forum then you will see that NAIM have caught on and have a Tripath amplifier. It is being exhibited at the HiFi Show in London as we speak. Friends have bought SI amps on my recomendation. One has 2 of them running his Yam NS 1000 and is very happy. regards David ![]() ![]()

I hear ya. I'm going to have to spend a lot more on speakers before I upgrade from a Tripath based amp.

I know tripath gets a lot of bashing from the UcD guys, but the smallest UcD module you can buy still has more power than people with high efficiency speakers want or need. I think Tripath is a very good (and inexpensive) solution.

YEP! I did the same thing. I replaced my 300B SET with this amp. Blowen away by the detail and bass control. Mid-bass preformance is slightly better too. I have listened to my whole CD collection all over again. It all sounds different.
![]() I have another one that I will attemp to mod. I think some tube rolling in my pre, and some cable changes, this my be a relly impressive amp. Driving B200 fullrange in OB. Heaps of power. Nigel |

Or you could go to Tripath and spend $300 on their 6 channel TA2020-020 eval board...
http://www.tripath.com/TA2020_design_tools.htm $100 don't look so bad... |
