Probably most of you know of this site... but I go here often to see
the guts of competing amplifiers. I really like the Snowcap... LOL
You be the judge.

Ive seen some really good amps that looked like crap but I got a feelling
this one is as bad as it looks.

All those capacitors, relays, and loose wires hanging all over the
place... even if the amp doesn't break into oscillation... it has a
very good chance of mechanical failures such as wires and components
breaking off the board from vibration and shock.
I don't understand why these amp builders... if they have such great
amps... why they don't contract to have their designs on a custom PCB.
I can't imagine buiding these amps on a routine basis... it must take a
tremendous amount of time to basically make prototype after
prototype... at a production rate. In reality, they must be producing
those amps for about $3/hour. That's probably why they have such shoddy
workmanship... they can't spend all day making one... even though it
would probably take that long to make it neat with their design... LOL
