SOLD: Fleawatt Steampunk TPA3116 amp
« on: 18 May 2014, 12:40 am »
TPA 3116 amp, with volume control and power supply.  Single input.  15-20 wpc.
Bought this thinking I would use it in a 2nd system that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Fleawatt builds low powered, creatively inspired amps.


$165 shipped to lower 48.
Paypal preferred.
PM if interested.

VERY cool looking!  this guy needs to make an "input chooser" and DAC that matches ... that would be a killer looking little system!

did you get a chance to listen to it at all??  curious how this sounds with "audiophile" speakers

The meter is non-functional and it's purpose is to look cool.

Is this what the backside looks like?





Does it use an external power supply (the only other remaining receptacle I see on the back)?

Yes, it uses an external laptop-style power supply.
The gauge is non-functional.  Just looks cool.  I like how the copper tone offsets the black.

It sounds good.   All of the TPA3116 and 3110 amps I've heard are really good, and excellent considering the price.
My speakers are DIY OB, so not "audiophile".   :wink:
I did have the Steampunk amp playing for a couple of months on the Pioneer '41 bookshelves, and that was a good combo too.

I've got some of Flea Watt's creations and the sound is very good.  I've run them on everything from Fostex single drivers to Harbeth P3esrs.  The Flea Watt amps are great values and a lot of fun to play with.
