Never giving up mine.

These are three of my seven. Used to have a 5600x til the SPL bug bit me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif

I have a USA-100 and a matching pair of purple USA-25s. Engraved heatsinks. The second gen of US Amps.

Ive seen a lot of hype for old school amps like US Amps, Phoenix Gold, etc, just wondering what makes them so good?
And on a related (i think?) note, whats with the underrating of power? Like if they know the amp can make 200+ watts, why would it be rated at 150 or whatever?

Ahhh...the good old days! I remember them well....Made in the USA meant shear power and durability...made in Japan meant Finnesse and SQ...now it's all from China...oh well, Some companies are trying!

Well. The USX is the 2nd generation of the USA series. And all 4 amps i got were also built by Zed Audio. So It's like older and younger brother //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
