The chip amp was built by Mick Maloney of Supratek.Not to market but
just out of curiosity and for a specific task.
if this is who you are referring to above, then I have to confess that
I can't recall having heard his name before. However the alleged
"fame" of the designer may have no real relationship to do with the
actual quality of the products.
Do a Supratek search in Audiogon.There is plenty of info in their
dicussion forums. Or search reviews in 6 Moons. Or visit the Supratek
site.
Your point being that he is "famous" in the places where he is known? :-)
Regardless of which, my main point what that being "well known in
concentric circles" does not necessarily tell us anything about the actual
quality of the product.
Slainte,
Jim
