Cool eh, especially the voltage sensing feature, could make buying from the 'states a viable option

I wonder if they're planning a more powerful model

I've had a look at this amp before and on paper it sounds very cool. The Bass Gallery [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/eden.html"]have a price for it[/url] at £749 though! The value for money doesn't sound good compared to the Little Mark 250, which you can get from the [url="http://www.basscentre.com/cat/product_info.php?cPath=36_123&products_id=886"]Bass Centre[/url] for £299 in the sale.

The switching voltage does sound very tasty if you happen to travel internationally.

Whoa... if I didn't have myself a MB LMII already, I'd be seriously GAS-ing after one of these! But the price tag is a bit of a shocker tho.

Ouch! Even taking into account the Gallery are at the upper end of pricing, its still gonna be pricey. The US retail is $899, which is roughly £450 so if you add 20% for tax and vat its still nearly £550. Shipping wouldn't be too expensive at that weight though.
Small enough to bung in your hand luggage if you were flying home from the states though!

The Euphonic Audio iAmp Micro 300 is under 3lbs, has two channels and can be picked up for $600 in the US.

Someone on Basschat ordered one from the UK, but I can't remember who it was.

Does it also do the fancy voltage switching thing? Or will it need to be modified to work in the UK?

Hi Pete

I've ordered a Micro 300, through Overwater - just waiting for Laurence to give me a call to say it's here, should be in the next couple of weeks... there's more info about it on their website [url="http://www.overwater.co.uk"]www.overwater.co.uk[/url] (although it seems to be down at the moment)...

I thought conversion to 240 from 110 was a doddle on Eden amps anyway!

It is! There's a little switch right next to the mains in point.
