Murx-AMP 2000

Description

The Murx-AMP 2000 is more of an anti ghetto mod! The Murx-AMP 2000 was designed to serve as a PC sound system because the old one was too ghetto.
Its power supply used too much power when idle and and caused a lot of heat so it had to be cooled with a fan and a modded temperature control! A device that was in one piece was more desirable than the old "!mURx-Sound-System" as well.

murxamp04.jpgThe heart of the amplifier: Two LM3876 that were ordered as a free sample at National Semiconductor and delivered via UPS! (The heatsink had to be milled because it wasn't plain. (ghetto!))
murxamp05.jpgEverything quite straight!
murxamp06.jpgOf course the ground is the most important part and longer than phase and neutral.
murxamp07.jpgThe unwritten law of modding: There is no modding without ghetto!
murxamp08.jpgOne of just a few ghetto parts in this device: The power LED has been mounted with a manipulated self-adhesive cable tie mount!
murxamp09.jpgSpeaking of ghetto modding...there were some complications working the back cover.

legacyamp2.jpgThe labels on the front panel are very professional, too
legacyamp3.jpgA good wiring, just with green cables
