In Reply to: RE: how many of you have actually LISTENED to a cheap amp? posted by thump on January 02, 2018 at 14:19:23
Yup, the SMSL SA-90 is so good, it's not available anymore. You may have missed 40% of the reviews which are one star, like:
"Firstly this amp begins clipping at cuts out at volumes that the lepy cruises right on past. Both amps tend to clip when driving my 8 ohm klipsch speakers which I have a couple different models of but the lepy does so at far higher volumes then the smsl . When driving 4 ohm klipsch satellites the lepy drives them far past comfortable volumes and the smsl wimps out again. All the small amps I've tested do a way better job with 4 ohm speakers likely due to less resistance on their digital circuitry but the lepy leaves this amp in the dust."
That doesn't sound like a Pass amp to me!
But maybe it's a big-ticket-amp conspiracy: couldn't have them around because they were sooo close in sound, so drove 'em out of business! Just like the gov't and carburetors that ran on water! 8-)

your conspiracy theory has some NEW evidence... i just noticed this trying to find a decent pair of $20 headphones after my $50 got ruined when the cable grommet snapped at the earcup
file under WTF?!!
Lol ,
Reading those 1&2 star ratings were hillarious ..! The reviewer comparing it to his Pass Amp should be tasered, at least twice , before being run out of town ...
:)
what about the reviewer who says the amps compare FAVORABLY to pa$$ labs?
