Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $180.00 from Audit T, England (£)

Summary:
This amp really surprises me because I wasnt expecting such a quality sound from a relatively inexpensive box. This amp is rated at 30 watts into 8 ohms but they must be very capable watts because it sounds so full and rich. The bass is full and dynamic really powering music along, the overall clarity and musicality is what shines through.
Its fully featured with a remote control, loudness, independent a and b speaker outputs, tone control bypass. The front panel is just beautiful in a nicely brushed metal finish with quality metal volume and source knobs.
I dont know how they do it for the money.

Strengths:
Very clear and dynamic sound sounding beyond the specification.
High quality look and feel. Metal front panel and knobs
Remote control of input selection and volume.
Inexpensive.

Weaknesses:
Looking at whats inside, it looks to me as if they could have chopped a couple of centimeters off the height.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
