18KG??!! Thats 40 pounds!!! That looks like one badass amp how in the **** can it be so cheap??? If it's to good to be true... then, well you know the rest.
Might not be the case but DAMN
EDIT:
Perhaps they make their money on shipping? 40 pounds shipping from china with $420 insurance, that can't be cheap.

there's no supplier, to order u just go straight to the creator of this amp.
he hand solder everything in himself. there's a waiting period of 1-2 month for this amp to be made. from what i know he's not making much money from this amp, because the part itself costs a lot already, it's a labour of love? i pm him about shipping cost, he refer me to the chinese post office website to work out the cost of shipping
it work out to be around $1200 rmb shipping to australia. the thing itself weight 20kg. look like he's not making money at all from the shipping.
you pay $3400 rmb for the amp and around $1200rmb to post office for shipping cost.

$1200rmb is pretty much as cheap as it can get.... unless you guys order it together and sent it via bulk mail
or you find a parcel service which consider volume only....
i put down insurance for the item up to $4000 rmb when i work out the shipping cost. by air it's around 1200rmb including insurance, but sea it's about $400rmb. here's the post office website he refer me to for working out shipping costhttp://www.shenzhenpost.com.cn/yzzf/gj_count.asp
it's all in chinese though
i am trying to get him to make a 240v power supply for me, just found out in australia wall outlet can go as high as 260v. he said he will try to get the factory to make one for me.
if i can get some aussie to have a group buy, it will be much easier for him and me to get the amp. so any1 in australia interested in getting one of these monster please let me know!
sxt-2 can do opamp rolling.
here's the link to sxt-1, it can do opamp rolling as well as tube rolling
That amp looks really nice. I'm also wondering how someone would go about getting one. Never even heard about this amp until someone resurrected the thread. It also looks pretty loaded with features at a great price.
I think for the total price of close to $700 shipped to the US (remember, exchange rate is going down the toilet these days, 7.5:1 the last time I checked), SXT-2 is not much of a deal. opamp design..yikes. I think you can do better for $700. For a little more you can get a used Dynahi or basic beta22, which is infinitely better than those of opamp designs.
If you must have balanced operation, then SXT-2 is probably the least expensive solution, otherwise you can do better sound-wise.
Linear Mode
