I have the Sure Board/Meanwell PS and tube pre driving a pair of Zu's. Haven't heard the Class D but it must be dang good if it beats the TK2050.

Thanks Steve. The rca connections has the positive going to the center post and the negative going to the ring. Hopefully, that is correct.

One thing i have a question about is the ground ring,does it go behind the white spacer or does it right against the nut?

Between the spacer and the nut, not the spacer and the chassis, otherwise there is no need for the spacer

It goes behind the white spacer between it and the nut. You want each channel RCA floating. Otherwise you will definitely have a ground loop.

You will need to contact Tom, but some of the transformers have secondaries that just get taped off.

Been spinning vinyl sence last night and all i can say is wow! Im very inpressed with the sound of this thing.
The tightness of the bass is right there well worth the $175!

boomer68, great to hear you're enjoying the Class D amp.

You guys are not going o like this.......

I bought one of these, sent it back for gain change, upgraded the PS by more than doubling the capacity and did a bypass with high audio quality cap, burned in for over 200 hours and I still thinkg it sounds most lacking. No life, no envolvement. I keep visiting this thread hoping to read that someone has found the magic bullet to make this thing sound like what you guys are whistling.
As it is its barely worth what I paid for it
