"Wineclone" Battery-powered Amplifier SUMMER SALE! $50 off!

gripracer · 12th August 2010, 08:51 PM

My Wineclone has been doing really well, so I decided to have a summer sale! Usually I sell these for $349 each for the base model, now just $295 for a limited time!

Please email me with any questions, or if you want a custom Wineclone. I can do any modification that you'd like! limitedslip@gmail.com

Thanks!

Here is a a review from a customer:

"It sounds great right out of the box. I'd say you have reproduced the Red Wine sound pretty accurately at far less cost - bravo! It's the kind of sound that makes me wonder why I would spend more on audio... I have had at least a half dozen amps/monos in the $5000-$14,000 range. The only other SS amp I have now is a Pass/First Watt F3 ($3000). I will have to compare them at some point but I know the Tripath amp can hold its own, with a slightly different sound."

The Magic Marker terminal markings are a nice touch.

gripracer · 12th August 2010, 09:20 PM

it's Sharpie! haha

This amp is all about achieving the highest sound quality at a low cost.

I agree, twisting the input and output wires would be way over the top.

Also, rotating the board 180 degrees would allow significantly shorter wires from the volume control to the amp inputs and from the amp outputs to the speaker terminals. Maybe you could add this as a $95 option or something.

The layout always depends on the cigar box used, as it is different with every amp I build.

Holeee crap, you're serious, I thought it was a gag.

I've bought LM3886 with tube pre buffer and am yet to build it. But I have other chip amps that sound great as shipped from china. Of course I've not heard a "wine" before.

Cool.
Srinath.

No, only a 90% equivalent.

The base model is 90% equivalent to the amp it's cloning in overall sound quality

Fully-modded, it is essentially 99%, the last 1% being slight differences in sound signature.
