Confused by ICE applications

I've started to get interested in the switch-mode power supplies, but I'm confused by how the various amplifier makers use them. My current investigation is into the B&O ICE modules and Jeff Rowland amps.

From what I can see on the ICE web page, they only sell complete amplifier modules. If that's so, what does JRDG (or Bel Canto) do with them? I'd thought that ICE would supply the power supply and the output stage was then up to the end user...

Hi Dave,
Yes,that is what i mean.Raw modules on which i can build my own amp.I am a DIY guy,i don't own audio bussiness.
On ICEpower/B&O website it states there are no sales to individuals.I haven't contacted them,but i will.But i do believe there are some places where you can buy modules,just don't know where.

Ric Shultz was making some ICEPower amps and I believe that he stopped. Maybe he'll sell you an module or two if he has any left, or he can give you leads on where to find them.

Is it just me or Icepower amps have an urgent sound. They sound more hyper-detailed than graceful and relaxed.

Wonderful_electric - I put blankets over my speakers to make sound of my Icepower amp less detailed, gracefully warm and relaxed.
