Post by: mix4fix on 23 Jun 2019, 09:46 pm

Anybody play around with Kinter amps? I impulse bought one when I was in Microcenter. It's a "MA-170".

Hi there, I bought a Kinter MA-170 and did some mods on it, which improved the performance a little bit. If you buy it recently, there is a good chance that it has TDA7297SA chip.
Thank you.

I bought it when I started this thread. What did you do to it?

Mostly just replaced the capacitors and the opamp. I documented the mods here:
