Class A PP. Could the bias be turned down and make it AB? Get away with way smaller heat sinks.

Okey - you are now all responsible... 🙂

Every time I use my ACA Mini I am shocked by how good it sounds and how small and simple it is. I use it all Summer with large floor standing speakers where it sounds great and provides all the volume I need with my ACP+.
The ACA Mini has led me to evaluate my amplifier choices. I used to think of the First Watt amplifiers as small amplifiers. Now, small is 5 watts and below. First Watt is the sweet spot. Anything larger is more than I need.

In audio, a grounded input is a type of input connection that is electrically connected to the ground, or the zero voltage reference point of the system. It is typically used in audio equipment to provide a low-impedance connection for signals that have already been referenced to ground, such as line-level signals from a mixer or preamplifier. Grounded inputs are also used to provide a stable reference point for the equipment's internal circuitry and to reduce the risk of ground loop noise or hum.
No, Chat GPT
grounded inputs is what I am referring to
"Grounded inputs are also used to provide a stable reference point for the equipment's internal circuitry and to reduce the risk of ground loop noise or hum."

^ Rather than repeat yourself, for clarification, perhaps show an example schematic that you would consider having the inputs grounded.
I cant believe you are being condescending.... Just kidding lol
these are not what are referred to as grounded inputs. But, unless you know something I don't, I am not an expert in electronics by no means.

TRS and XLR are examples are they not? Maybe I said it wrong? Balanced Inputs?
Hence, the D-K comment... a RCA is a 2-pole connector where in almost every implementation in existence, one of the poles is tied to ground.

re: post #95 - "these are not what are referred to as grounded inputs" ^ By whom? I'll bet a US dollar that Jason Stoddard would say they are grounded.
More importantly, what do YOU mean by a grounded input? Clearly there is a gap in terminology to sort out.
"TRS and LXR are examples are they not?" No. TRS and 'XLR' are form factors. They are commonly used in certain ways, but they have nothing to do with a grounding scheme for the input / output.
I believe you are confusing terms. Since this seems to be more between you and TNT, I will bow out.

TNT has no intentions of helping me I assure you, But you are correct, I confused the terms.
""an input that is electrically balanced. In this case, “balanced” refers to a type of AC electrical signal having two “legs” independent of ground. One is generally positive (+) and the other negative (-) in voltage and current flow with respect to ground."
So to correct myself; I think I was happy until I seen the inputs were not Balanced
