Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer?

I believe they sell for 39.95 and you'll need the power supply which is 19.95 (unless you use batteries). That makes it a $60 amp. Using a Pinnacle 12v power supply will give better midrange, a weak point of an otherwise very open and clean sounding amp. Personally, I still like tubes but I have two of these little guys, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom.

Flavor of the month not unlike those Toshiba cdp's.

Well, I like the flavor a LOT! :-)

Been using one of these to drive my AKG K-1000 headphones to some BEAUTIFUL music!!

And combined with a tube preamp (good advice on AA), it played some great music. The Teac Tripath amp is even better, a little more dynamic and detailed.

I bought one at Target about 8 to 10 months ago, after seeing the rave over at Audio Asylum.

They're inexpensive, I'll give them that. Are they a giant killer? Only if your giant is small.

I saw a suggestion at Amp Asylum to use it as a wireless patio system while entertaining friends. Mine will come back out of the box once it warms up enough to entertain.

a very special product indeed, magic with appropriately sensitive speakers and a good source/preamp/cabling. laughably inexpensive (i didn't say CHEAP), so few of those who equate expense with quality of sound will take it seriously.
