Product Description
Frequently named among the best budget power amplifiers on sites like Audiogon, the Topping TP60 features a powerful TA2022 Class-T amplifier and delivers an output of 80W x 2. This amp uses a double transformer linear power support, and these transformers are placed in the shield to prevent interferences and avoid transformer vibration Read More
I have one of these, and it’s been a great little power amp. I got it from Amazon, but this is a much better price. I’m using it to power some 4ohm MB Quart bookshelf speakers from the 80s at the moment. They aren’t especially sensitive but the topping drives them without a problem. I would recommend!
Surprised this is not getting more attention. These sound amazing for the money. I have mine hooked up to an isolation transformer, which takes care of some of the main gripes people have.
ChrisNSorry, eh, a few benefits from it that you could mostly google. One of the grips you might hear is hum from the dual toroidal transformer, which is typical from dc presence in your AC line from other devices. An isolation transformer would eliminate that. Not sure I would recommend getting an isolation transformer, unless you have some extra cash to burn. I personally noticed a big difference, but my power was/is dirty.
HI Vlady,
no the topping TP60 is better sounding amplifier than smsl
and it also has the capability to drive more varied speakers
topping should be more than enough to drive your speakers as long as you dont push it to clipping
I had this amp and it sounds great! But, be aware they cause serious RF interference. Now this was 3 years ago maybe they managed to isolate it. I sold it to a co-worker who Heard it and loved it. Always wanted to buy another even with the RF interference. I was told that it is a fault of the Class T chip. Mine had a slight transformer Hum that wasn't noticable from a few feet away or with music playing, so it didn't bother me. Class T is like class D+.
I'm unclear on what this is. "Class T" is a marketing BS way of saying class D when you dont want to say class D due to misconceptions bout class D in some audio circles. (bass players and sound guys got over their doubts about class D a long time ago. So you dont see "class T" bass amps or live sound gear. Some audiophiles are still laboring under the delusion that class D means digital though).
The confusing bit is the reference to 'linear power supply support'? Class D/T have PWM power supplies. It's the defining characteristic. Linear and PWM power supplies are mutually exclusive.
CalaverasgrandeThat's not how it works. It's PWM, not PWPS. PWM is pulse width MODULATION. Not pulse width POWER SUPPLY. The PWM is the modulator. Not the power supply. They're two different things. Yes class D is a switching amplifier, and yes many use SMPS (switching mode power supplies), but they can and do also use linear power supplies. Both can be good, and either can be bad. It's all in the implementation. Normally if you buy a class D amp that requires a wall wart, or external power supply. You want to use a SMPS, because linear can cause ripple issues. But when designing your own amp. You can take care of that issue easily enough. So yes this is a linear power supply on a class D amp, but that's not necessarily a great thing. Nor is it a bad thing.
amb3cogSo it's a class D amp run off a linear power supply? I'd love to hear the marketing bs fabricated to justify something so dumb. Except I really wouldn't.
Hey, I've been watching this, since I just bought a pair of Klipsch 3.2 (8 ohm, 65w max) from a coworker, and he also offered to sell me his old Denon DRA-545. I'm watching this because I don't need all the features of a receiver, since I just care about music from my own sources, so anyhoo I was wondering if anyone knows what the audio characteristics of this are? I see there's no tone control, just input and output, which is nice assuming it's a perfectly linear amp...
I've one of these connected to a pair of Jamo C103 the sound is really good. I use it mostly to watch TV but music is also enjoyable. It has been turned on 24/7 for like 6 months and still working, no issues whatsoever. I bought it because of the big transformers, there're other Class-T Amplifiers but most of them use switching power supplies that after some time start doing funny things. For the price I think it's a good option.
Yeh, maybe that'll help, but i don't want to get into modifying the amp if there are issues. I was very keen on trying this amp out, but with my concerns about returns/warranty going unanswered, i've bought this amp from parts express for the same price (open box + coupon). I'll have 45 day return guarantee, and a 1 yr warranty. I'm a massdrop junkie and have bought several items ... but unfortunately, this won't be on that list.
