Yes that's right - our brilliant T-amp has been subtly updated for 2015. Don't worry though, it's still got the same great sounding audio circuitry based on the legendary Tripath TA2020 chipset. We've tweaked the look slightly based on customer feedback and added a new low noise 13.5v PSU to take it even closer to Audio Nirvana. Buy via our secure store for just £99 & get it next day!

New design 13.5v Power Supply Unit, worldwide voltage compatible, specifically selected for the Mini-1 and Class T design. The 12v unit we supplied was great but our initial feedback is that the new PSU opens the clarity up just that bit further. Keen forum readers are sometimes sucked in to debates on the best type of PSU for a Class T design, we always recommend trying our PSU first before splashing out £££ on expensive alternatives.

High quality black screen with 2oz Gold tracked 2015 circuit board, the audio signal path benefits from long life and minimise distortion with age.

Subtle Amptastic branding on the high quality bead blasted front panel, to help differentiate with our future models. Plus, customers no longer get asked "Woah... what's that little thing? Where do I get one?"

Improved ultra tight fitment between metal case and front panel to increase structural integrity and reduce LED leakage.

Small design changes to rear panel to emphasise that the Mini-1 class T amp is "Engineered in Cambridge" and assembled in the United Kingdom.

Thanks to all those who ordered in 2014 - we hope 2015 continues as we grow and add more products. Luxury listening without the insane price tag!

We get loads of feedback on our Mini-1 Class T amplifier, as we pride ourselves on honest audio, here is a review from one of our UK customers, John C of London. Thanks John!

The Mini-1 is a Tripath amplifier using the TA2020 chip. A lot of research and development has gone into improving the board.

I am using the amplifier with open baffle speakers to power the mid and treble. The speakers are quite sensitive 96db. The bass is separately powered.

I have used a lot of amplifiers in my system from Japanese vintage to big valve amplifiers and tend to be quite demanding with my expectations. I have also used a variety of Class D amplifiers.

So how does it sound? Pretty fantastic to be honest ..... The first thing I notice is just how big the soundstage is. I then start to notice that the bass seems to be stronger and more defined (in my system bass is pretty good already) but always nice to take it another step forward. The amplifier is very detailed, it really takes me into the music I want to be immersed in the music.

Some listening tests:

Kate Bush - Waking the witch Can hear the Church bells chiming demonstrating good micro detail.

Lenni-Kalle Taipale Trio - Sami-Imas Clean bass lines full sounding piano capture's the pace and timing of the track.

Surinder Sandgu - Avi's Theme Captures the attack time changes and complexity of the track everything making sense.

I guess for me it's how musical my system sounds now, I can listen for hours and feel emotionally engaged the system now seems to catch the flow of the music.

Bottom line true high end sounding amplifier in my system without the high end price.

I am using a battery rather than the power supply. I also use a separate preamp.

I think what it shows is what the amplifier is capable off in the the right system.
