Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Actually no cold water - yet.

A simple google search reveals the source of the advertising and the DIYAudio quote you linked are the same thing:

https://www.muzix.eu/us/spd/MG-TPPNG-B100-BLACK/TOPPING-B100-High-End-Desktop-Mono-Amplifier-Unit

Your claim is based on a logical fallacy called a 'false authority'.

You'd want more than a single source wouldn't you??

Look at this a different way. The DIYer's say the heatsinks are small and that is verified by photos of the interior. A class AB amp of this sort of power would have larger heatsinks because it will make some heat even at idle! You may not have much experience with solid state so you may not know.

A class B amp wouldn't need large heatsinks since it will run cool most of the time. People who push this amplifier report that it can get quite warm. That is consistent with class B operation. This is of course simply evidence not proof.

The bottom line is if you want to get to the bottom of this you need to do more research. I noticed Topping is very careful to not mention the class of operation on their website. Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd, since class B has such a bad reputation?? They don't hesitate to mention their class D amps are class D...
