Wow, another DIYZone Pass Clone

[Luke]

that usher is a good looking amp. Dont know if thresholds ever made it to NZ but Ive never seen one.

 

[vdi_nenna]

didn't China gain control of Taiwan in 2000? Or was that some other country I'm thinking of??

 

[ackcheng]

China gained control of Hong Kong in 1997. But Hong Kong was not a country to begin with. It was a British colony before 1997.

Sorry for being off topic

Something that makes the Threshold/Usher thing even more interesting: http://www.threshold-audio.com/S=350eColor-v05sc.pdf

Designed in the USA
Handbuilt in China by Threshold International Ltd.

So Threshold is selling cheap clones of what made them famous once...?

Brillant idea

 

[markk02474]

The Threshold web site only lists a post office box and not a real street address - it could be operated out of someone's garage, or in China.

At least the person using the name probably bought the rights to the designs and to market products using the Threshold name. That's what happened to lots of old audio names.

Not China, its a Taiwan clone.
DIYzone clone project anywhere.they are going to more bad reputation.

I filled out a feedback form on the Usher page asking why their amp offering look so much like Threshold's. I haven't heard back yet. Probably won't get an answer.

I did almost the same thing I just asked them if their poweramps are stasis designs, because they look so much like Threshold

The Threshold and Usher are clearly not the same amplifier,
cosmetic similarities notwithstanding.

ya askin' Papa?
hehe
he have weirdest approach to stage counting..........
especially in counting stages in his gadgets........

 

[Nelson Pass]

That would be 5 stages as I call it. Opinions might differ, but
I am not counting the cascoding or current mirrors.

You can put 10 of them in there. It still won't get hot.
Nice, very nice.

Just think, in 15 from now those nice X's will be made in Nepal by Llama Ltd, 5 years later sold for scratch through a US dealer.

Mr P. ,
why not take out the middleman and makes some dinero now, sell me an X for peanuts and change.

the case was intended to be an aleph2 monoblock, but i needed more power than that (inefficient speakers and large room).

i thought about making these 4 channel amps, but i just didnt need that kinda power. even still, a 1.7kva transformer for a pair of UCD400AD's is plenty of power, and they have more than enough weight to them, so they dont float away...
