I just got the unit. It's as heavy as a normal rackmount amp. I don't have any issues with humming noise or anything inside the unit. It has plenty of power to control some 87db speakers I have that the smaller t-amps couldn't drive well. I'm not exactly a modder, but a copy cat tweaker, so I'm hoping a few people will give a few hints to mod this unit. Here are some docs that might be useful.

Ummm... that doesn't look familiar at all. I bought mine from rhctrading of Chehalis, Washington, and all communications came from them.

I received an email response from "Carisa RHC Trading <sales@rhctrading.com> " through ebay in regards to the best price they could do on 3 units. After that I received this very strange email that did not come through ebay.......
I wasn't thinking at the time and responded with the amount I would be willing to pay for 3 units. Then I got this response......
Sounds like a scam. I realize on ebay you can see who submitted a best offer on an item, I would just like to know how they got my email address.
We all best watch out...I just got an email from PAYPAL saying that I needed to login and confirm my change in email address (to my existing email address no less).
When I queried the link for www.PAYPAL.com/login on the email, the link was to a German website - obvious phishers. I reported it to PAYPAL. Not very sophisticated, but opened my eyes a bit...
Anyway, it is pretty easy to get someone's email - even off this site.

Not sure there is anything nefarious going on. The company sells a huge amount of Phoenix Gold stuff, and since Audiosource is owned by them, they probably offered up the amps once they could legally sell them in the US. The Trading Company may be the hobby of a Romanian engineer who lives in Seattle. Its a small, small world we now live in.
Hes got a big eBay business and probably wants his sales to go through it and get the feedback and discounts for his volumn. My amp was shipped within a 48 hours of the purchase and I was emailed a FedEx tracking number and a confirmation of shipping. I also received an offer for an extended warranty too. Some of the best mailorder service Ive ever received.
I think if you corrospond through the eBay email service, you shouldnt worry.
On another note, I finally have a night with the house to myself! I can finally give the thing a thorough listening. My small dedicated room doesnt do the Maggies justice, so when the family is gone, I can have my way with the livingroom. (the agreement was I get a dedicated listening room if the ugly big audio stuff, wire and cables stay out of the livingroom)
OzMikeH,
It appears to only have a single pair of primary wires. Sorry about that.

OK, this is getting really strange.
This last email states I can only pay through Western Union and none of the ebay policy links at the bottom work. I have not received any correspondence directly though ebay about any of this.
Personal info removed. PDF is too big for upload here.....

EDIT: Haha, boy this fellow is eager. I told him the invoice that he sent stated a quantity of 1 for the price of $600 and that I was interested in 3 units.
This was his response......
No thanks.

You should send that to RHC -- I bet they'd like to know that someone's trying to scam their customers.

I got 3 of those emails from that sender as well. It's gotta be a scam. I would be suspicious of anything that didn't come from rhctrading or thru ebay.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this one. I just wish I didn't have to pay $30 shipping. It's 80 miles away!!!
Hope this helps--

I've been an ebay member for about 6 years now and this is the first time I have ever had someone try to scam me. RHCTrading told me to forward the email so spoof@ebay.com, so thats what I did.
Anyway, I wish I would have submitted my offer earlier when amt got his for $225. They quoted me $240 each for 3 units. I told them to send me the invoice. My girlfriend is going to kill me.

I received the invoice earlier and was about to pay until I read an old post at audioasylum about this amp...
That sounds identical to how Petey said his amp is acting. I really want to buy these, but I don't want to spend close to $800 on amps that are going to die on me.
I would like to know what exactly goes wrong with them. Does the Tripath chip go kaput, or is it something else?
