Vendors = more to audition the latest & greatest + , as Danny says help to cover costs.

Don't know about the yammy.I have owned the NX33 and found it excellent.Good Luck.

What a thread,maybe the best.Lovin my Phoenix and believe it has ended my amp searching until something revolutionary happens.

IN,I really enjoyed the first one.

Really enjoying mine.NO plan to sell.

Takeing the top off just changes conduction to convection.There are heat sinks on the inside attached to the bottom plate.You can see them on his web site.Go to alphanovatech.com and buy yourself a passive-flat self sticking heatsink.Dead horse society going back to music.

I think they only ship on Mondays.Sometimes they simply mess up.Love my Phoenix,great price performance ratio.

The Apache was my choice to buy after hearing it.But I took a chance on the Phoenix thinking I could sell it if dissappointed.However I don't remember the Apache well to compare.

Computer-northstar mk2-phoenix. Mine did not sound good but improved with burn in.Can't believe how good it sounds.

Les What I did,ordered 8-1.5" dia. round stock 6060 aluminum pieces cut in 4-3" & 4-2" lengths.The 2" I mounted on the bottom corners,then stacked the power box on top,attacked to the feet.Of course the mounting was a bear without the right equipment.Cut cork to fit feet.Heck,I was going to...

The Phoenix sounds great and performs well beyond its price.Yes the volume clicks but imo is not bothersome.However,I find it annoying from song to song,"everytime",it sounds like pluging a jack into an amp. punk guy 182,I'm useing cork cut to size under the feet.No ground issue plus...

h.rav Going to China and checking Kingwa's operations,pretty neat. How about Kingwa comming here to a large head-fi meet.I would love to hear his impressions of others equipment.AND,what He might get out of it.

I'm still not listening a lot but continue to burn in.Runs 8-10 hours a day.My listening sessions are about an hour every few days. Yes the sound improved,everything cleared/cleaned up.Instruments have there own distinct spot. Instruments so REAL.My music sounds incredible. On the...

Hold it hold it hold it.Back to the subject.I've had a rough road getting here.Yea the monkey man came through for me with a dac to die for.The Phoenix was tough,couldn't get the first one to work,the second one worked but.Anyway,my problem,the amp started farther back than any amp I've...

Somewhere,way back in the thread,someone posted a web site that showed computer heat sinks that would be perfect.Cooling fins and proper adheasive too.

Got my Phoenix yesterday,functions beautifully.Thanks for all the help along the way.Over all I'm very pleased with the final outcome and feel Kingwa really came through for me.It was a long journey that I'm happy to put behind me. I never figured out why I couldn't get the first Phoenix to...

First it needs to be fixed then I don't know,but I bet it will be a heck of a deal. To haloxt,I used a cd player output to headphones worked fine then rca to amp no luck. Man,everything was tried and I think it's a small problem but on the inside.

Quote: Originally Posted by squall343 I think the right thing now kingwa to do now is to ship a new unit asap and maybe some compensation for the time wasted Well,this is how it ended up.Kingwa would not send another unit until he got this one back first.Went back and forth a...

Thanks to haloxt who was kind enough to send me a signal cable,I got to try the amp.It STILL doesn't work.Tried all combinations to no avail.So all this effort by everybody to solve this problem brings me to this point.Time for Kingwa to step up to the plate and ship another unit...

Quote: Originally Posted by moonboy403 If you're not in a hurry, perhaps you can send off your cable to one of us Phoenix owners and we can test it out for ya? That'll at least eliminate one possibility. That's the head-fi spiritI believe Kingwa will ship a cable when he see's...
