I'm blown away by the Sonic Impact tripath amp.

Plinko are you talking about the Sonic Impact or the ClariT ?
The ClariT can be ordered with left and right subwoofer outputs. It also comes with a volume control, no preamp is necessary. If you use a Sonic Impact you need a separate preamp, if you plan on using subs. Dilly some people are ordering the SI's from target. It maybe 2 months before you get it . The demand seems high on these little units.
Looks like Slappys found a place that has them . Hopefully he will chime in.

Hi Gmood1, I checked partsexpress.com. they indicate a couple of weeks wait time in case anyone is curious. you know what though, I'm still going to have to do more research cause I'm just not convinced. its hard to believe actually. I'm not doubting anyone's integrity here though. do you know if there is a wait on the modded ones?

Plinko the last batch Vinnie made 25 units. The ClariTs have been selling like hotcakes. He may have some left out of this batch I'm not sure. Yeah... I know it's tough to believe.
Think about this for a moment. If this product isn't doing what is stated. Why would the designer offer a 30 day money back guarantee? As far as I know none have been returned. His company just came to be less than two months ago. His product is already up for a review from a major audiophile publisher. He is a one man operation and doesn't have a big money corporation funding him. This should at least give you some indication this isn't a joke.

Dr.Mason turned me on to this unit. He is a musician as well as a physician ,who builds his own speakers! Why would he not just go out and buy himself a $10,000 tube amplifier to run his speakers?

I would think because he has already been down that road. He as well as I are not into flashy names and shiney products that do nothing but look good on a shelf. This is where you separate someone who loves music and someone that's in it just to impress the Jones's.

You have to decide which one you are.If you ever get a chance to hear the ClariT. You will wonder where has this type of technology been all of your life! The ones that feel better spending more to ease their minds so be it.
I've said this before ..to bypass this unit because it doesn't cost enough is a serious mistake. If your speakers aren't sensitive enough, it is understandable to look else where.

As fast as this technology is moving. In less than a year even the ones that need more power will have it in larger battery powered versions. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Good Luck to You!

It's the real deal. With my Fostex 206E project speakers, the brilliant life and color of music makes me smile and cry. It is beautiful. My 206's aren't perfect, but with simpler music, this combination is the best I've heard.

Oh yeah, for $750.

Glad to see the ClariT and the 206E bring you closer to the music Miklorsmith. I know where your coming from because I'm using the same combo :-)

Just a quick update..Louis (owner of Omega loudspeakers) got a chance to hear the ClariT up against his $2000 Solid State 50 wpc reference amplifier last night. He ordered a ClariT..I suspect the ClariT will be replacing the 50 wpc amplifier. LOL
