True! My expectations are raised.

its possible i am using topping TP20 to drive MS carnival 8 floorstanders ..
Oh my god! What an amp what a sound, it's a little champ (monster), ye bachha bade badon ke chhakke chhuda dega.
I was waiting to listen to the legendary Tripath 2020 chip, ever since I read about it. And as soon as I came to know that Mishra Ji has ordered it, I was very happy and I troubled him so much with my delivery status queries that he gave me the amp the next day he got it.
As soon as I plugged it in I realised that this is a different beast altogether.
Following are my observation bout the sound characteristics of the T amp 2020 - Muse
1. Sound is warm yet detailed.
2. Huge sound stage.
3. Precise imaging.
4. Excellent instrument separation with amazing clarity.
5. Bass is tight and well defined. It's hard to believe that it is produced by such a tiny device.
n. I can't explain but it has some magic. It sounds really sweet.
Source :
1: CD - PS3 - Optical - Caiman SEG - Muse - Focal chorus 706V
2. FLAC - Laptop - WiFi - IPad - Audiogalaxy - USB - Caiman SEG - Muse - Focal chorus 706V
Vol knob position 10 O'clock
Credit also goes to my Focals as they are 90db sensitive and very easy to drive
Happy Listening

I got my second one for $23 with FREE SHIPPING, after the first one's left channel died.

Using it to drive my KEF Q90 floorstander with two 8 inchers and the neighbours have already started complaining
that may because you are drawing more current and default coils are measly. You need to upgrade that for at least 3A or more. I don't think chip is that easy to die. That is where cheap kits save price.
It seems you are now addicted to the small amp
.I am also planning for one more. Ever since I bought SB Touch, my wife has got addicted to internet radio. So, everytime I want to connect the amp to my Oppo player, I have to take out the RCA from SB Touch and put it on Oppo. Thats a pain. Hence planning for another TP20.
The price in the ebay link you have sent is quite good. But it does not have a power adapter. So, will have to search for another link.

ehehehehe ....... you guys are all sooo late in realizing the true potential of this 'Lilliput'! Me, already 2 years into it (ST 2) and daresay, it comes pretty close to my ST 3 (Krell + Transmission Lines FS), all except the fearsome volume that the ST 3 is capable of!

Price is higher than Muse and similar amps,and you will need to buy case and other hardware to finish this.Its a Arjen Helder design and uses high quality parts,PCB is 3MM thick.

I too am tempted to order a Muse.
But with these horror stories about caps being drilled into and components attempted being pulled, is it safe to order an amp?
If I order one online, am I being too adventurous or these stories are just one off cases?
Anyone with lots of experience ordering electronics online could share their views.

These are worst cases, and first time for me. I am purchasing online since last 10 years, not a single trouble like this. But these Sarkari Babus are just mindless sometimes. I try to avoid Foreign post Dept of India whenever possible. I purchased many heavy items inclusive of Turntables and heavy amps. No trouble if postal dept is out of the way.
Well, those who want it even cheaper, this arjen helder one uses 2024 chip which is supposed to be only very slightly inferior to the 2020. It costs a whopping 687 rupees (12.50$), and to make it even sweeter, it includes shipping, only board though.

Mate you can go for dayton b652 speakers. Total cost will come below 7K includng shipping if you purchase from shopabroadonline.com . You can read the reviews about those online
I bought S30 for Rs.9200/- more than a year ago. So this price looks good to me given that the rupee has depreciated so much recently. Actually S30 has become very hard to find, so I doubt you will get it for a better price than this.
Sumeshj,Cambridge dealer in Chennai quoted 9000/,Banglore quotes 10,000/ and complains about online sellers i bought it from 'technoguru'for 9500/.hope that they will deliver(these online sellers after collecting our money some times will say not available)
any way thanks for your earlier feedback also
