I'll weigh in here having read almost more than I can stomach.No, the idea of a small case in two mono halves is not original (Camelot phono stage reviewed some time back in HiFi News) and chip amps have been reviewed in the past as well (HiFi World reviewed the Final branded battery powered chip amp pre/power setup years ago) I seriously doubt that 47 labs could contemplate having pioneered either technology. If I build monoblocks, am I copying Quad II's or did that nasty Peter Walker copy someone elses idea in building them? Shame on him!
So, someone builds a chipamp in a dual mono case (both of which seem like sound engineering practice to me) (and with the gall to use an outboard power supply too, Shocking I call it!) and somehow this becomes a crime?
Peter has said that he wasn't trying to copy the gaincard but was develping his own design implementation as an offshoot of the work done by himself and many others in the DIY community who found (as many others in the past have) that chip amps could produce fine sound when well implemented.
Let it rest folks!
