    I agree this is a great amplifier with the glass top for op amp rolling. Great review, Greg.

    Very nice review! Look forward to your experience with different opamps ( and not only the expensive Sparkos, Bursons etc., but also afordable opamps from AliExpress- I think thousends audiophiles are waiting for such a comparisation). Thanks in advance!

    OK, the big question missing from this review - how's the sound - why not describe it? Lots of nice new gear out there, but without any type of explanation on how they all sound, what's the use?

    Are you planning to review how different op amps affect the sound quality? Given the access window I think a lot of people will be buying this intending to swap them.

      @@superspeeder I’ve already done one comparing MuzgAudio discrete opamps with the stock ones. There’s a link to it in the video description. I’ll be doing some more soon.

    And my favorite review so far! By you, and of this amp both.
    Some (ahem old guy) reviewer missed the total point of this amp: the high pass filter. Which is very useful to unburden small speakers from heavy bass duty. This results in more headroom and a lot less distortion.
    Also most of the "300W" you can get with a bigger 48V 5A or 10A PS is wasted in that bass region. If you filter

      Thanks for taking the time to post your comment. Yes, the SXs were very cheap - ca. $25 for a pair with free shipping on Aliexpress.

    It sounded cool until you talked about the LED lights that have their own dip switches to control them. No, china. Just no.

    • @NormcoreGreg
      @NormcoreGreg  5 дней назад

      Good thing is you can switch the LEDs off completely.

      ​@@NormcoreGreg Thankfully so. At this pricepoint I personally would rather see the money and time spent on better components, not RGB lights. Its probably not a huge cost but at this pricepoint its a non-negligible % of the total, just to add this gimmick.
      But youre right, I should just ignore because its still cheap for what you get, this sort of thing is a bit a pet peeve. It is an interesting little amp though, thanks for bringing it to my attention
