JDS Labs cMoyBB V2.03~ Truly a Great Budget Amp

cMoy or Chu Moy is one of the most popular DIY amplifiers because of their easy to build with highly customizable and low cost designs. Over the years, there are many variants of cMoy including the JDS Labs’s  cMoy design which have being heavily redesign over the original cMoy amplifier, other designs that use wire with gain which doesn’t have PCB boards (a direct wiring designs) and even cMoy that have been redesigns to use tubes.

SPL Auditor~ No marketing gimmick, a very honest amplifier.

How many times have you seen a company making marketing claim or using marketing gimmick when selling audiophile products to a customer?  How many of them are snake oils and false claim based of scientific research and feedbacks which in the end show no added benefit from using such product? Well SPL auditor also did make some marketing claims about their products in their websites. However the difference is that the claims made by SPL are true but just not detailed enough in describing the effect.

SPL Auditor~ Previews

Before I release the Auditor reviews, I would like to show you some previews of why I wanted to review this amplifier so much. This video will show the elder brother instead of the Auditor. The Auditor shares the same amplifier circuitry as the Phonitor but have their bell and whistle removed. There are no dial, no vu/peak meter. Just a simple plain design as a purist alternative to the Phonitor with its imaging processing option removed. This is a good news for those who want to get one of the top level solid state amplifier but couldn't afford them. Sorry guys, the reviews for the Auditor is a bit too long. I required some more time to write them. Maybe I will release something else first while waiting.
