As the title says, there is a great review in Stereophile this month on the Super T amp. It is the cheapy version in a metal case, real RCA jacks and speaker binding posts, and several circuit changes and changes within the tripath chip itself. Should sound pretty awesome. $159 list price.

Thx for the heads up madmax....good read. I have a frankenstein sonic T (amp module embedded in a passive pre from Cliff) mated to RTi100 using an Onkyo AVR as a pre and I love it. It makes the Rtis really nice sounding...better than an 40 watt NAD that I used to run it with...What they say about mating with speakers does appear to be very important as the sonic T sucked with my Rockets. I think it may only be good for simple loads...and probably better at driving 2 ways...System 1: Martin Logan Vantage, Rotel RC 1070, B&K Reference 200.2, Music Hall DAC 15.2, Yamaha 2300
System 2: LSi15 w/db840, Marantz SR8400, Rotel 1080, RM6800 (C&S), Sony X2020ES
System 3: LSi7, Yamaha SW215, Music Hall Maven, Music Hall MMF CD25 w/627opamps
System 4: RTi100, Harman Kardon AVR 230, Panasonic DVD -
From what I know of the Rockets they are much like the LSi series. Pretty much need lots of high current muscle to sound good, and then they are awesome. I tried the older version t amp with my SDA-SRS and up to a certain volume point they sounded as good as any other amp I've tried. One day I'll set up a high efficiency system and give it a try.
