hi vinnie,thanks for all the info. i have another question. is it possible to configure your amp to run off a non-battery-operated 12v source? with excellent lab-grade power supplies (such as lambda, hewlwtt packard, etc), awailable on ebay for literally pennies on the dollar, this may be a wiable alternative for those that like to keep the tunes on all day. i have used a $2k hp power supply (which i got for ~$100), to great effect on my turntable... could an amp be configured to be an *eit ...
Hey Vinnie, what's the play/charge time again?
Ah, is the site actually up for a while? I couldn't get in all last night. Darn geocities.
Question about battery life: the website says the battery should be good for around 1000 chargings. What then? Can the owner pop the hood and replace the battery or is there more involved? And how much is a replacement?I've got a Sonic Impact sitting here waiting for a pair of Omegas. I'm rather curious about the Clari-T-Amp.
Vinnie, I will post again after the amp has had a chance to break in for a couple of days, but wanted to report my initial impressions, which are all good. This amp is a clear winner. ...
Vinnie, I've been running a stock Sonic Impact off of 7Amp Astron regulated linear PS. This combo sounds great. I am not so good with surface-mounted DIY work and wouldn't dream of attempting a total makeover like you, but I think I will replace those small power supply electrolytics. Is there any tricks or "surprises" with Sonic Impact before I fire up the solder gun? Thanks.
This little amp reminds me of a high pedigree red wine, which when first corked exhibits a richness of color and palate, but needs time to breathe and blossom before its true character emerges. Like a fine wine the Clari-T has been opening up day by day and revealing its ever-increasing ability to resolve music. After less than a week I've determined that it is the best amp I've ever heard, and it continues to gain more weight, depth, detail and soundstage. The separation and clarity of instruments can be startling.
