What do .5's usually go for, only ones I've seen around are the ones currently on fleabay, and they're at like 500+. Not sure if that's the current going rate.

Ok guys here they are. I jus got home and took a couple quick pics of the BEST DAMN AMP IVE ever OWNED!!!!!!! :twisted: I cant wait to jus test it a little bit on my RSdC12. Now Ill spend all week cleaning both of them up and maybe replace the Ti600.2 powering my 12 and the sell the 600.2 and the Matching TBAT for the ZPA.5. I dont know yet but we will see. Now I included a shot of the only phiscally major issue with the amp. a chip off the top right corner and a small normal use scratches on the plexi but Im sure Ill be able to buff those out. Now the guy knocked off $100 off my buying price due to this issue other than that the amp and TBAT are 8.5 out of 10 both are jus a little dusty dirty from sitting in the garage for the past 4 years but anyways guys ya'll will have 1st dibs if I decide to sell and Ill post it on the FS thread on here. Oh it matches my Black ZX450v2 I got from randy even a better PLUS. Once I gettem cleaned up I post better and more pics.

Just be carefull with this be prepared to quickly disconnect power if you use it.
My 2 ZPA 0.3's fried power supply caps.
So I wont even power up my ZPA 0.5 till I change the caps.

If STROKD decides to pass on the TBAT, I'd like it.

I read the ZPA needs the TBAt, due to it's wanting an 8v signal, will it accept any line driver or is balanced a necessity?

I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) you can use any line driver with a ZPA since the all send 8v to it. But to really get the most out of those amps, you really need to use a balanced signal.

Like I said, I might be wrong, but that's what I gathered from reading about them here on the forum.

Any line driver w/8v+ will do, but best to go balanced.

I already have a balanced signal. Im using a TBA-1 T/R now currently in my install. Strokd I havent decided yet if Im going to sell them. But ull have first dibs Ill Pm as soon as I decide what Im doin wont till be around this weekend.

You don't need balanced but a balanced signal does mean no chance of induced noise(not really an issue if you use UTP RCAs). You can also use lower signal than 8volts as anything at 2 volts or above will be well above noise floor of amp, so its not an issue. I don't use balanced and have no noise issues.
