Need a power amp ASAP and at a reasonable price while I get some costs on rebuilding my monoblocks that just carked it. Geelong Australia and hoping for mates rates or possible a loan while I auction a kidney to pay for repairs or rebuilding of the Kenwood L-07M monoblocks
Get a d class module from a thread on DIY here . Shipping from Chi should be cheap and it may make you to lose the desire to rebuild L-07... Mount it on the plank of wood and call it a day.
Howdy, Check out the Cheapaudioman (Randy) on youtube for recommendations on cost effective amplifiers. He can be quite entertaining. 😀

Not sure abut Aussies but here in the States friendly and unsecure audiophools simply beg you to borrow their junk and express an OPINION. So, maybe you could borrow some crap and in return sin a little bit with white lie about performance of that gear (or not if its actually OK😉
Maybe something from SMSL? The SA400 seems to be getting good press.
Monoprice? This is a short term expedient to get you music while you get the Kenwoods repaired. I suspect working properly they're relatively hard to top.

You can power it directly from some SMPS or use my power supply, with separate sections for input and ouput stage:

I hope it does the job. You'll have to report back on how it sounds, given it's conceptually the opposite of the Kenny's! I'm intrigued as to the grunt it has in comparison.
Well it works but it lacks what I would have to call "Fluidity" for want of a better term.
About the same as ther Fosi amp I ale=ready use on the computer
I may not wind up using it in the lounge, better suited to something more basic like a computer set-up or background music bedroom speakers.
I may get a couple of the cheap Fosi amps in the short term and run those as monos.
