11th Mass Order: Lepai LP-2020A+ T-amp

I am conducting the 11th mass order for Lepai LP-2020A+ (version 3, revision C with twin relays for better speakers protection a.k.a. 2013 new version). The AC power adapter WILL NOT be included as it is a controlled item in Singapore. You should purchase a PSB APPROVED regulated power adapter separately.



The manufacturer recommends a power input of 12 volts 2 ampere but I suggest using a 5 ampere power supply instead for better sound and the ability to drive bigger loads. (Scroll down to read where to purchase one)



This MO will close on Sunday, 3rd August 2014 at 10pm.



Price is SGD$30 per unit with shipping included. All payments are to be paid in full.



I accept payment prior to ordering via POSB/DBS ATM or Internet Banking transfer, DBS PayLah! or PayPal. Interested buyer please SMS/WhatsApp to me at 98805223. (Please do not call or SMS after 11pm and before 7am)



Delivery of goods takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.



Colors available in black and silver.



Black









Silver









Revision C (latest version) a.k.a. 20130828PCB new version - new and improved air-core power inductors and a new "pop" suppression circuit.









Revision B (previous version) - notice only one relay

----------



The Lepai LP-2020A+ is based on Tripath TA-2020 amp chip. This is a 20W RMS two-channel Class-T Digital Audio Power Amplifier.



This mini audio amplifier is ideal for both home and car audio applications. The amplifier's TA2020 amp chip is a 20W per channel continuous average two-channel Class-T Digital Audio Power Amplifier IC that incorporates Tripath's proprietary Digital Power Processing technology. Class-T amplifiers offer the audio fidelity of Class-AB amps combined with the power efficiency of Class-D amplifiers.



The Lepai amp's clean, 20 watt output makes it perfect for almost any auto or home audio project or DIY application.



Google Lepai TA2020 and you'll find this little amp has been discussed and raved about! Each unit has an RCA left and right channel input, or you can use the 3.5 mm stereo input jack for plugging in almost any music source, such as iPod/iPad, smartphone or MP3 player. Convenient spring terminals make connections to your speakers quick and easy!



The Lepai mini amplifier has an aluminum enclosure that is lightweight, yet sturdy, and acts as a heat sink to keep the amp running cool.



My own unit stays cool after 6 hours of non-stop playing (driving a pair of Onkyo 3-way floorstanders with 12" woofers).





EVERY unit is tested and checked before distributing to buyers.
