This was a 3 month project pre production amplifier was completed in 11 /2015.It was a all out assault on a price no object Special Edition .It has everything you could want in a amplifier Tons of Bass control
Holographic Soundstage Excellent Imaging and a Natural Warm Midrange low level Detail. When playing low at night is excellent this is 40 watts Stable down to 2 Ohms This amplifier was tested with Electrostatics with ease just to prove a point. This amplifier was designed for Loudspeakers 90db and above Plenty of power ,relay control remote , 3 inputs and Preamp out . Fantastic on Omegas ,Zu or any efficient Loudspeakers. If sold retail this This would have to sell for over $6,000 retail Compare build and parts quality with ANY $ 10,000 amplifier I have been involved with audio for over 35 years and my job was to source the best parts .built like a tank and still a Very natural tone.
Please see the extensive build sheet below. and if you would like to speak with me on this very extensive build. I will give a 90 day warranty as a courtesy. Please leave your Tel number Thank you.
This is a example of a past review of a standard build This Special edition has parts at least 10x the review sample and far sonicly superior. I am asking $1895.00 OBO

The Case work on both chassis is 6mm a power coated steel and front panels are all hand cut and finished American Oak with several
coats of English wax applied and laser engraved.
Over 10,000 uf in capacitance for each Monoblock amplifier just for the input side using the Very smooth Nichicon Fine Tune capacitors
All resistors are 1% or better matched Dale Vishay , also The very high quality Tantalum resistors 2 per amplifer .
The amplifier Inductors are a propriatary method all hand wound bobbin High purity Copper.
There are 8 very low noise Relays to control the 3 inputs,mute and volume.
The 2 large Coupling capacitors to the preamplifier section are the Very expensive Mundorf Silver Gold capacitors.
high purity SILVER COPPER WIRE is used . Connectors are Nuetrix Gold plated High purity Brass Bronze Alloy.
The IEC is from Furutech SOlid phosphour Bronze and heavy 24K Gold plated . Fuse is Hifi tuning Silver Gold 5 Amp fuse.
THE POWER SUPPLY
The power supply is several times over built ,for example the Bantam one Dual monoblock use 10,000uf Total of capacitance for the power supply.
with Nippon Capaciitors .In the Special edition over 50,000 uf For the Special edition the Mundorf MLytic Power capacitors which are Very low ESR are used.
The Mundorf MLytic power capacitors are used 25,000-UF microfareds of capacitance Per amplifier .the only thing shared here is the Umbilical cord.
to smooth the capacitors further the Mundorf EVO Silver oil bypass capacitors are used , for the output ,even better Mundorf Supreme Evo Silver oil caps.
The voltage coming in for these very efficient amplifiers is 25 volts to the first precision Pre regulator
then filtered further to the final stage of regulation from Linear Technologoies 18.5v, several Tantalum resistors, as well as High speed diodes. and less then .0003 of THD This Dual regulated
last is the Dual Torroidal transformers 1 per channel 120va each,Hospital grade from Germany.
Linear power supply is the finest Linear supply the and only dual regulated power supply that I am aware of. Tons of current on demand !!
Plus at least $250 in sound deadening treatments inside the 2 chassis.ERS sheets and AVM vibration treatment.
The power supply is made for 115v North America not the cheaper flip a switch multi volt power supplies.
to put things in perspective a P Hynes or uptone audio linear transformer charges over $800-$1,000 with less then 15,000 of capacitance
comparing apples to apples the SE supply has at least 3x that in output as well as parts quality and a Dual mono design. No expensse was spared in this build
and you can hear the detail and refinement as I stated in the ad re read the Temple Monoblock and the very good review it received this far exceeds that .
If you have any questions please email me or call Thank you.I will give a 90 day warranty as a courtesy.
it sounds and looks great. This is similar to the fall 2016 model but this model is not cost effective .It will be a special order only .Thank you.
