Stereophile review of the T-Amp

Just a little joke! Of course Stereophile would never review such a small piece, especially amidst all those beautiful expensive pieces. But, just for fun I hooked up a T-amp to Axiom M3ti speakers and a small portable CDP in my bedroom. At low to moderate volume it is very impressive for the cost. Not impressive compared to everything else I have or you have, but for under $400 total?? My wife wasn't impressed, but I don't think she's been impressed by anything else in the bedroom for a while! ;) Anyway, I hope some of you enjoyed the teaser line and what the heck, try an inexpensive system for a change. You might be surprised! Now back to the usual esoterica!

Just be careful, there are some conversations on headfi that mention electrical issues.

One guy fried his AKG K1K (one of the earspeakers). I guess you still get what you paid for.

I wonder what would happen if I put one T-amp on one channel and one T-amp on the other? I was only thinking about it in terms of balancing the volume (my bed is not right in between the speakers) and possibly allowing me to hook up a small subwoofer without destroying the amp (by combining the signals-it apparently has shorted out the chip). Anyone tried this?

Sorry for the double post. Operator error.

Tgrisham,

They can't be bridged. So, you'd have the same results as just one.

From what I've read anyway.
