Hi vipersg,Here's an update to the Cymax power amp for 2025. Now with the LPS mounted in the middle and the center partition replaced with nickel plated copper instead of aluminium. The copper shielding between the power supplies and audio modules are more thorough in coverage. This also results in wiring being much neater and a more direct path from the power supplies to the Purifi 9040 modules and Weiss OP2-BP input buffer modules. The final change I did was the WBT 0703 Speaker Binding Post was changed from Silver to Copper (gold plated). The 0703 CU sounded to me a little warmer, more weight in bass, and a presentation that sounds a bit more romantic. The 0703 AG sounded to me being more revealing, more micro-detail, open and airy. The one you pick should be based on your personal preference and system matching. Now that the amp has all nickel plated copper shields internally, it has also become substantially heavier as well.

Dual XLR Inputs enable me to connect my AV Processor (Marantz AV10) and Network Music Streamer (Lumin P1) to the Cymax and select Input 1 or Input 2 per channel from the front rotary LCD Dial.

Amazing and detailed pictures of the new design and layout. May I ask how you got your hands on this new design. Are you a product tester for Cymax, or just an audio enthusiast who is sharing their experience with these Amps? You seem to have early access to all the updates, including complete re-layout of the wiring.
Thank you for the pictures and information you have documented and shared. Appreciate the effort and contributions.
