In terms of Kenny's mindset, I'm pretty sure that we're talking about a current capacity upwards of 300mA so that the B+, during moments of high current demand, won't drop down. I sh...

OK......lack of published / available specs notwithstanding, has the general population of "Wreck cloaners" found the offerings of Heyboer, Pacific and Edcor to be: a.) close enough to each other as to be interchangeable without making amps that are dissimilar sounding and, b.) able to make clones t...
