The 2020A+ is the most basic and a best-seller. Lepai is a Parts-ExpressВ brand that offers many models. One thing I like about certain Tripath chips is their low power output which, according to this horn user and 'first watt' adherent, is a good thing. I have also heard some 'hi-end' products that employ Tripath, but just like hi-end D-amps, these just do not interest me at present (likely not in the future either). Rhythm and pace and bass performance are usually not quite top-tier harmonics are also invariably shortchanged (one reason why a seasoned SET lover would give T-amps a miss). As a matter of fact, not much to offendВ (unlike many ss amps), but nothing much to get excited either. My general impression is that sound is usually good and smooth.

I have never owned a T-amp before, but have encountered them often (brands include the early Sonic Impact to modern-day Trends, Topping, King Rex etc), usually in systems with efficient speakers (horns, Bastanis, etc). Tripath chips (and similar others) have taken the world by storm, and deserve their success, as implementation is easy, cheap and consistent with the dutiful modern sensibilities of miniaturisation and conservation. The write up should have been short and sweet but, as often with me, things rolled into considerable proportion, as you can see from the title and subtitles. This article was triggered by my recent purchase of a $15 amp.
