Just finished my amplifier this week. I am pretty happy with the results. Ghent was amazing to deal with. I was concerned with something coming in from China for a multitude number of reasons. I chose Parts Express to guard against fake parts for the ICE modules. I had considered some other configurations but for the money this seemed like a reasonable compromise. This is my first class D amplifier. I built this to replace a Rotel RB981 (130 watts rms into 8 ohms) as it is getting on in years and my wife thinks its ugly. How does it compare? It kind of sounds the same. Maybe the new amp is not as loud at half volume from the Rotel preamp but it runs really cool, like ice, with no coil whine; the Rotel is dead silent as well but runs very hot. The bass is possibly tighter but maybe thats in my head. It is definitely a good replacement for me. I am working on a video and almost finished part 1. I can post when done.
Total cost $360
This included expedited shipping from China and the XLR cables from Amazon.
Cheers!
