An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I have that Sony amp as well. I also have a few other tiny amps.

Sparkomatic AMP 6000

It measure 4 inches long and 3.5 inches wide.
I think it is from either 1984 or 1985

But I think this takes the prize !

Soundstream D10

Sparkomatic, wow, they made a few different things, I’ve had a couple of there old CB’s & maybe something else.

That Soundstream looks wild & very well may take the prize for smallest; looks like a line out convertor or something, lol, very interesting! Would never guess it’s an amp.

I find the smaller amps like these fascinating for some reason, though all I have is the Sony, it’s certainly no power house, but it sounds good.
 
That is pretty tiny! Never seen one, but out of curiosity does that use a chip-amp or is it discrete?

My Sony amp is little, but don't think quite that small.

Gotta say the SONY has the most cool points IMO, being it has it's own SMPS and actually runs the amp over 12V AND is bridgeable!!!

I want to build a DIY version of that amp, or at least something similar, with a small PCB, and TL494 or even a self-oscillating SMPS, TO-220 devices, (or even a chipamp output) it shouldn't be too hard to build.
