Re: Already built a UcD 400

I didn't buy a kit, really...

I bought the amplifier modules from Hypex
http://www.hypex.nl/
https://www.hypexshop.com/

They sell direct to the US- you just have to convert from Euros- I think the total was ~$300

However, they also sell matching power supplies/transformers/softstarts... ~$500 Euros for a stereo UcD 400 which I think is about $650 currently.

IMHO, the UcD 400 (conservatively rated at 400w into 4 ohms- per unit) is more than adequate for smaller Maggies, and the UcD 180 will probably be enough for most people. If you build a strong enough powersupply, you could biamp each speaker with UcD 400 modules for less than using one UcD 700 per channel.

I built mine using surplus transformers from PS Audio, Sprague Powerlytic powersupply caps from an industrial surplus auction, some parts I had laying around, and a few bits and pieces from Parts Express....
