C-Audio Power Amp Head ...

Farnell don't charge me shipping, and to be honest, I've never felt that their prices are excessive, given the stockholding that they have, and the normal efficiency of their service.

Likewise. I can phone my order for 1 transistor at 6pm if I need to, and it is here, free delivery, next day. That's what I need to be able to do.

Certain things, like cable and connectors, are cheaper elsewhere, but for everyday components I order from them exclusively and pay monthly. Parts are usually the smallest part of the bill anyway, and the customer pays for them, so ultimately I am not bothered about trying to save them a few pence if it takes more time and hassle (and possible labour charge) to do so. Neither, I suspect, are they.

Ok I archived this. IIRC the caps are dark green This amp spent most of its life as a sub amp for my home entertainment system. So it spent a lot of time idling. That probably did more harm than good. And it was on 24/7 365 days a year for maybe 3 years before I went to powered subs. One feature I like is that the fan only runs on demand and from what I remember has infinite control. So this amp is good where fan noise is an issue. As far as how I rate it sonically, it always performed well for me although I haven't run too much full range audio through it.
