Is there a 'cheap' quality sound SS amp?

60ndown · 30th April 2011, 12:52 AM

I'm putting together a little system for a friend using revealing full range drivers,

I want a *nice sounding* amp cheap, used or new is fine.

'world music' is the genre, no classical or jazz.

anything come to mind ?

The first thing that comes to mind, considering it's fullrange which are usually efficient, is a Sonic Impact TA2024-based or clone therof, from, say, Sureelectronics (Ebay).

Hello 60ndown,

What you are seeking is a bit of a question. How much power? SS or Tube? High end or "good" (both are subjective terms). DIY or ready-made? I'm trying to help with some meaningful advice - and don't want you to misinterpret my questions as "picky" (or such).
Budget??

most natural/non fatiguing sound for $100, (new or used) , i need a ready to use amp, my soldering skills are affected very negatively by too much excellent quality high potency coffee.

Try Luwak Coffee. But nothing is better than Singgalang Coffee

(Yes, with it the amp will sound better too)

Check thru the Class-D and chip amp sections. There are plenty.
