Compilation of portable amps

[Zemo]

The Z-audio Zmoy and pimeta amps are no longer offered. They will be replaced in about 1.5 months with an all new line of original designs.

I think we should also include the amps made by others DIYFS such as misterx, vodochile( ups don't remember how to spell it) and others. Im not saying that JMT is better or worse, I just think we should include all the manufacturers. it's more fair this way.

I also think this thread should be a sticky. how can it be done?

I just went to the portaphile site and there is a new version of the porthaphile called v2.0 check it out the price is also different. It is now 175$

don't forget to change the price and name at the list.

This might be a lot to add. This info is already available at each manufacturers website.

I need to buy audio w/ my ears. Examples: Electric Avenues and Shellbrook Labs allow returns after trying. Xenos and jmt audio don't.

Can someone help me out and list the DIYers (and their website) of the different amps. I will break this into a separate section. I assume the amps that would be included are: mint, pimeta, cmoy). Any other amps?

True but it is something to think about before plunking down cash.

The website for the "Super Mini Mint Amp" is www.westernimpressions.ca but it is currently "under construction" right now...whatever that means. The only page that is active is the /archive page which shows some other amps he has built.
