Rob 3,531 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Well everybody. I think it is time to brag a little, which I normally don't do because I am not that kind of person but the amp is finally done and a great big thank you to Greg and Jenny. You guys are awesome for allowing me to receive the first upgrade. I don't know much about the history of the amp before @BarryG but I do know that it was his and then @kve777 who then sold it to me. I will keep this amp in the community. I have been camping all weekend after picking it up from @Nahash5150 so I haven't been able to listen to it yet. That will happen tonight. The 4.0 is an amp that I wanted for many years and finally acquired a few lately but a Super Charged 4.0 is even better I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday and also if it isn't a holiday for you, then have a great Monday. Thanks Again @Nahash5150 Edited June 1, 2021 by Rob 4 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Meyer 1,613 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Awesome amp! The 4.0 is no slouch to begin with (375w at 8ohms; 500w at 4ohms I believe). Do you know what the output power is with the Mk-II upgrade? Since its essentially the same amp as a TFM-4.0 and TFM-45/-42, can the Mk-2 upgrade be done to those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryG 2,845 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) I bought that amp off Craigslist, with a ct-seven and Dtl 3200 for $300. It played ok but knew it needed an upgrade when I traded it to Kevin! I know nothing of prior history. Glad to see it upgraded! Iirc that is the amp that needed all service bulletins. I think it had an air capacitor on the power supply board. I was looking it over and saw two little wires sticking up, looked in service manual to find out what it was. barry Edited May 31, 2021 by BarryG 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 3,531 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 @Nahash5150 did you test this to see the output? How many WHAT"S per channel do these upgrades add to the original rating? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 3,531 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 It is definitely a great sounding amp. I couldn't listen to the whole 500 watts but it doesn't take much of a turn of the volume knob and you can feel the power. SOUND + FEELING = HAPPINESS Awesome amp Greg. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and drop it off before you go to work and I'll try to use up most of the headroom for you. If not, well it gives me a good excuse to get another set of speakers if they blow😁 Really though, it sounded great before, I can only imagine what it sounds like now, will need a demo sometime soon. Congratulations buddy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
