Yes. I swapped a Sony d50 discman and added $220 cash.
They had it for over 1 year.
Had a listen to it and it sounds sweet, just like a tube amp should.
Sphinx (Mark) on this forum designed these amps for Blade.
MACS on DIYMA owns 5 of these, dunno if you saw the post.

Your just soooo lucky I didn't get it 2 weeks ago when I saw it. I knew it would bite me in the butt not buying it. Seriously I knew something was up when I saw that amp. I was getting my PS3 fixed down the road when I did the same thing you did...LOL....

BTL Amp from the late 80s / early 90s. Alpine/Pioneer/Kenwood/Clarion/Sony, etc all had them.

BTL power
Bridge-tied load - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So is this way of making power good ? average ?
Im assuming sound quality suffers ?

It was a way of making power on the cheap. Essentially any deck these days has two of these built into it.
