10k Electrostatic Amplifier in Korea

[rizena]

 

It's an amplifier based on the stax t8000.

I couldn't find the picture because the inside was not disclosed.

It's an amplifier made by a famous Korean hi-fi amplifier maker and it weighs 60kg

If you can find any internal pictures then that would be great.  Based on the T8000 is not great as that is one crappy amplifier.

Let me look for an internal picture of the amplifier.

The producer said that the T8000 is the best luxury amplifier. So they made an amplifier based on T8000.

Hi, JoaMat

The producer is a small hi-fi company in Korea.

You know.  That famous amp designer - HiFi CO KR

And as always, Thanks for J.C. {our amp and saviour}

Why do I have a sneaking feeling this is a direct copy of the T8000.  All the controls are the same, same inputs too with the option slot as well...  Yeah not good at all.

I have to give props for the naming.

Wonder if the J.C. is John Curl? Have to poke around diya and see if there is anything there on this one.

Just look at the back of the Korea amp, it's almost identical to the stax t8000, even including the line4 input that never came out on the market , that's hilarious 😅 Is this just a change of box for t8000 ,or is it some kind of modification for the t8000 (e.g. load resistor changed to CCS load) with a new box?

We did release the full schematics so yeah... it might be a clone. A clone of a terrible amplifier...
