7 x HH V800

As I remember it, when HH got into trouble Rauch was set up by someone called Jerry?

I believe he'd been involved in sales at HH, as I remember there being quite a slick marketing campaign.

It looks like a few different firms had a hand in the design and manufacture of their products, as in addition to C- Audio and Pantechnic I'm pretty certain Ben Duncan also had a hand in some of the designs.

yes BD got involved in development of the SRS SMPS though does not actually switch and yes again a fair few people involved at various points. It eventually became MST Rauch I sold them used them fixed them. no idea where Charlie Sapelsa went he was last owner of it P600 were great very light 2U package SMPS is nothing new
classTD by Labgruppen just a further development of the tech as are so many others

I will post some internals from my "Museum" of older amps sadly some are not readily available too far away in storage but a photo of my shed which used to be full with piles of Quad II's would have raised a few smiles instead they raised a fair few quid instead a few years back. Austin Amrstrong had a few of those racked up for Mons when the Turner racks were a bit lacking grunt for the job ok but never been a fan of "Highside" myself bloody zeners used to pop on them a lot. still have one somewhere a 4chx600W  with "Popped" Zeners of course. I do need to put on a "Thermal dynamics Hat" soonish to design an exchanger for some amps I intend to produce. I know zip about castings though but just a learning curve

Yes the Matrix arrived no chance to listen to right now maybe next few days will hook them up. do a comparison to Adyton XP3 & Rauch DVT300S & Turner grab a Labgruppen of a mate for reference Have to find a "Doo Doo" one for comparing it to junk got a C-Audio will do somewhere

Thanks for letting me know I have been outbid now anyway
Even so I think 7 of these amps would have been  worth £120    If I had of won  a case would have to of been opened with Ebay for false description as they clearly are nothing like a V800 or in fact any H/H amp at all

Seeing that last picture reminds me that I still need a couple of capacitors, 15000uF 63v if anybody has any in an old dead amp, or tucked away somewhere! I can then resurrect a poorly PPX I have here.
