ecost has them as well, 19.95 US, and they do border free shopping for Canadians, when you go through the borderfree checkout on their website everything is calculated so you know exactly how much you are paying upfront.

Well E-cost is usually good, but $25.55 CDN for shipping, $14.74 for handling(?) plus GST works out to a cool, $70.70 CDN. That's just crazy!

I got mine last week and had been trying to get one for several months. Got it from partsexpress.
The amp lives up to the hype. It's great. I used it upstairs with my old Klipsch bookshelves (90db sensitivity) and my old Technics cd player. So far, I have only listened with batteries. Wish I had M22s to use with this thing. The bass is really full and low and I hear some 'tubey bloom'. There is a soundstage (compared to nil soundstage with the 8 year old Technics receiver I was using).
I'm going to try and get another one and some cheapie speakers for the back deck for this summer. Only thing that will get me inside the house are the M60s!
btw, anyone have any recommendations on some real cheap speakers for outdoors?

Thanks for your help 2x7spds!
One more question: why not just buy a power cord with a wall wart, and be done with it? Am I missing some advantage/disadvantage (other than a big fat wall wart)?
Thanks again.

Watts = Amps * Volts.
15 watts per channel = 30 watts = X * 14 volts
30W/14V = 2.1 Amps.
So, I like to have a bit extra, so, I want at least a 3 amp 14 volt power supply. If you can find a wall wart which meets these requirements, go for it. I like the idea of a shielded (metal case) converter/power supply.

Since this is a digital amp, I don't believe it's affected (soundwise) by unclean power in the same way analog amps (perhaps) are.

Lorenzo,
is there a reason why one of us could not just buy one here for you and ship it up?
I'll volunteer!

I appreciate the offer Seabear, very nice of you but it won't kill me to not get one so that's ok. As usual all the regulars on this forum are the best!!!

So I was going to install some in ceiling speakers and power them with this sonic amp when I watch tv. I don't want to have to power up my whole system just to watch tv. This would do the job right?
