Anyone have experience with VTV amplifiers?

I've just learned about VTVamplifier, which seems to have extensive history selling tubes and other parts, through Ebay. Now, they have a full line of Hypex amps, and Purifi. Do any of you have experience with this outfit? How about their amps? I was not able to find a review on their amps; maybe I missed something...

Thanks,

I had one of their Purifi amps for about a week and returned it. The amp worked, didn't sound bad but I wasn't impressed with the build quality.

Don't send me PM's ask the questions in the open forum. The VTV was a neutral amp with good detail, I liked it. As I said I wasn't impressed with the build quality and I didn't want to bother with modifying.  One thing I really disliked was the power switch on the back, either it ran all the time or I had to get down behind it to turn it off.

If you want to fix the internal issues it was a nice neutral amp. Good power, bass sounded nice not boomy. I think the Purifi is about the best class D at a reasonable  price at the moment. I have seen issues with Nord as well ,speakers wired wrong, so I would look inside one of those if you go that direction.

The XLR pin 1 is wired wrong and there is no mains ground.  Speaker and XLR connections were soldered sloppy.
