Does anyone know of the Sphinx Project 16

Satch,
What kinds of repairs does the Sphinx project 16 have. Are these repairs with both the older and newer version of this amplifier. Bob

The 16 is great sounding but also breaks down (and expensive) a lot. If you got a good'un, it's magic. If you got a faulty one, it will keep on breaking down. So it's a risk since the 16 is no longer being made. There is, however, a US distributor: May Audio Marketing, Inc., 2150 Liberty Drive, unit 7 Niagara Falls, NY 12404 t 716 2834434
f 716 2836264.

Their website is still up: www.sphinxlab.nl and they recently came out with revamped Myth models. I think they just don't want to deal with the US market - just like so many other European hifi specialists.

I think that Sphinx is now out of business, At your suggestion I contacted May Audio and they have not heard from Sphinx in months and they fear the worst. Bob

Sphinx has had very spotty representation in the USA and only recently has there been a lasting distributor:

I think you would have to talk to Sphinx in the Netherlands directly to get information on voltage conversion. My guess is the whole thing would be a headache. Great sounding gear but very rare in the USA.

Can the Sphinx gear be easily changed to US electric standards? Bob

I am looking for a bit of the warmth that a hybrid would provide. This is why I am interested in the Project 16. Bob

only hear their project 18 paired with their project 8 preamp, fantastic combo.
