I'm going to send Amir a wire in a box and call it an 'ultra low gain amplifier'. OEM DIY Prototype assembly of course. That should get top of the SINAD chart.
Or even an attenuator (negative gain amplifier)- less noise on the output than the input! Or a buffer that switches to bypass mode when it senses a 1kHz tone. I say, game the system like Volkswagen, yeah!
It is ok, Amir knows am not doing enough business to label me a Manufacturer. My amplifier business is rather specialized and so only do a few units a year. I was contemplating doing a more mainstream offering just before Buckeye decided he would do. Since he is younger and needed some help, decided to focus my business on helping him and doing more customized amps myself. The last few customers have wanted custom cases or clipping indicators. I get requests for analog VU meters frequently but have not found a quality supplier.
While not sure if Buckeye will support this Hypex module, am sure others will. Since this is a common Hypex part with a readily available (Ghent) case, does not fit my business model, so do not plan to offer. Thanks for asking though!

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Q: Is there a current Hypex-based fully-assembled & US-available unit that gives about 100 wpc for 8 ohm speakers? I'm contemplating a future purchase, but my speaker/room demands don't really need more than that, even allowing for headroom. I'd like to step up from the Class D ~50 wpc amps I am using now....attracted to the Buckeye or VSV lineups and functionality but seeking something in the $300 - 500 price range?
It's never a good idea to lie to US customs... Or any other countries' customs.
But, the product has NCV (no commercial value) when it is broken and non-functioning. You could state that on the customs form as it will only have value when repaired and returning to the US and import/sales taxes would have already been paid for that, first time around. Is that how it works for you guys in the US?
The problem is if it's lost in the mail. Now I don't have an amp that's serviceable to send to service.
So yeah, pretty sure it's not legal to say "well, it's broken so it's $0" Also, they've told me that I will be picking up a device that is lied about on return and will be potentially skipping out on import taxes or whatever when I get it.
> import/sales taxes would have already been paid
if that was true, the topping distributor wouldn't be lying about the value. They were clear they would be marking it as $20 to avoid fees.
My basement system has a MiniDSP SHD, Benchmark AHB2, and Revel 126Bes. I started at mid-gain but then realized that I don't really blast it.
I now use low gain. It is still plenty loud and protects against over-driving.
I do the same thing - I set it so it never goes louder than I want. Got really confused when I had one of my ahb2's on a different setting than the other 4 though... WTF is wrong? Oh yeah.
