Price


For 110 of the price thats more than welcome

Shipping


We are shipping a replacement item right away

Packaging/appearance


The problem is that like two other reviewers it was dead out of the box


Im not sure where the ground goes there is no 3rd prong on the pack

Competitiveness


Great pre amp but needs a more powerfull adapter than the one supplied


I am currently paring this with a fiio e10k dac which gives my senn hd 58x jubilees a little more bass


Despite being a chinabrand i would recommend smsl products all because they deliver in terms of quality sound and are reasonable pricing

    This is a fantastic amp if you replace the 6 opamps with 6 lme49990


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The included opamps are not so good but replacing them is cheap for the sound it delivers

    I had purchased for my father and internet clock radio but when he used his headphones with the radio was not loud enough

    The core of the ei laminate transformer in the wallwart is not securely laminated together so the outer loose plates vibrate and buzz very loudly when its plugged in


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Have located a nice 30vac 666ma center tapped toroidal transformer from jaycar for 19 but i doubt it will fit in the wallwart housing so ill have to figure out some other way to house it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Looking forward to using the amplifier once i get the power supply problem worked out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now it doesnt buzz when plugged in
