The TPA3116D2 is the most written about "chip amp" in recent times. There is a reason for this. The TPA3116D2 gets very close to the Single Ended Triode tube sound, but with multiple times more power. Some who have bought my amplifiers have preferred this mighty chip to their multi-thousand dollar 45 and 2A3 triode tube amps. The TPA3116D2 does so many things right. Imaging, bass depth, bass punch, spooky-real midrange and sweet, sweet highs.
This amp works best with speakers that are efficient. Single driver, crossover-less speakers or 95db and above multi-driver speakers. I've sold over one hundred amps and never had a return due to someone not liking the sound. Most mass manufactured TPA3116D2 are built with inexpensive hardware and cheap electronic parts. Many have very inexpensive wall wart style power supplies.
This TPA3116D2 is built with many boutique audiophile parts and has a built-in linear power supply using an expensive R core transformer. WBT style premium gold plated binding posts. Neutrik RCA inputs. Kimber TCSS output wire. Teflon insulated solid core copper input wire. An audiophile quality R core transformer, Nichicon Muse and Panasonic FC capacitors make up the power supply.
The quality of the potentiometer is critical in these amplifiers. The Goldpoint stepped attenuator, although very expensive, is well known as among the top of the heap of boutique volume controls. This amplifier is equipped with the $165 Goldpoint V24. This is an ultra transparent volume attenuator and I've compared it to dozens of others. More information on it can be found here: http://www.goldpt.com/compare.html Amp dimensions are 8"widex8"deepx6"in height.
Please read my Audiogon feedback and numerous forum posts about my Fleawatt TPA3116D2 amps. You may also view my blog at: www.fleawatt.blogspot.com My screen name is "Cervelorider", but I'm the proprietor of Fleawatt. This amplifier is new. Shipping is a flat fee of $35 via Fed Ex or USPS to US addresses only. PayPal only.
I've been asked about a warranty. My usual response is a "Lifetime Warranty". As long as I'm alive, I'll fix the amp if anything were to ever go wrong. These are not a mass manufactured amplifiers made on an assembly line. These are lovingly, one at a time, hand built amps by a fellow audiophile. Each one is burned in for 48 hours prior to shipping. All the benefits of knowing who built it go along with ownership. I'm always just an e-mail away to answer any questions or discuss modifications.
