Funky Series' Products
These include just about anything I come up with. From integrated amps, preamps, phonostages, power amps, etc.
Many new surround sound receivers become non-repairable due to malfunctions in their logic controllers. Instead of repairing older models, many manufacturers prefer to sell new units. Often, this is because the technology has become obsolete and parts are unavailable. In other cases, manufacturers simply make more profit by selling new units rather than fixing older ones.
We address this by salvaging the chassis, transformer, heatsinks, speaker binding posts, and RCA jacks from these non-repairable units. We then transform them into truly one-of-a-kind audio components, each with my artistic touch on the exterior. All electronic parts and mechanical switches are brand new—these are the components that directly contribute to sound quality. By avoiding unnecessary elements like fancy machined thick aluminum front panels or large LED displays (which don't impact sound), we achieve significant cost savings. Initially, this made our units very affordable and perfect for beginners. After two years, however, many seasoned audiophiles are now seeking these unique audio components due to their exceptionally high sonic performance-to-cost ratio.
All of these "Funky" components feature our SP Cap Pack and/or FCF plug-and-play external power capacitor upgrade connector. This allows users to upgrade their amplifier without needing to send it back to the factory.
Most of these units have already been sold, but I'm constantly making new ones. As long as I can find non-repairable surround sound receivers, more units will be produced. Some units are commissioned, but most are made when I have the time and the mood is right. There are always some units available for sale. If you wish to commission a unit, please feel free to contact us via our contact page.
