So... needless to say I'm impressed with this amp. I need to take the time to sit down and put it into words but tonight I powered it up after working 3 hours on the amp rack and it blows my temp. (aura 6 channel bridged to 4) out of the water.

more tomorrow.
Just wait until you have a sub to power with it. Tracking number on the way shortly.
In all seriousness though, I'm glad you're liking the amp so far. If there is anything I can do just let me know.

I would be curious to hear the difference first hand. Somehow the hype of having a new toy tends to skew results.

I fully recommend doing a back to back A/B test like this. Placebo effect/honeymoon stage can cloud your judgement at times. Though I don't believe his opinion will change. The ELEETS amps really are something. They've been a well kept secret for a long time. But as more and more people get their hands on them, that secret is getting out. And I'm very happy about that.

This is true. I've seen it quite a bit with his equipment travels. Some I agree with, others I think it's to help justify the money spent.
But definitely would like an A/B compare-o considering I have found the Aura MR series amps to be one of the cleanest amps yet. I have a feeling his Aura MR might be in less than 100% condition if it's truly 'blow out of the water.' Also seemed very first generation in esthetics. I haven't heard his system at all since the amp swaps.
In doing A/B tests out here I have only found a few amps that I consider to be on the same level with the ELEETS gear. Arc SE, Sinfoni, and a lone Brax that I played with. That's some pretty esteemed company in my opinion.

The reasoning I've been given is they are measured with the gain at "0" with an 8 ohm load with a 2 volt input... more or less dynoing a car at idle.
One thing I need to add... I ran this for an hour last night gains at 0 until I finish the install and get to tuning and the thing has pretty much all the power needed. I have the 8 wired to 8 ohms and it has enough power to blend well with my active front stage. After running pretty much full tilt for the hour I got home and went back to feel the amp half expecting to get burned however it was just a little warm to the touch. I'm very impressed by that. Also the Class d sub channel does not affect my radio reception like the Leviathan did.
nice. maybe one day I will score one of these Zuki amps.
My tech really likes the zuki and that means a lot as I have never heard the word "shit" come out of one persons mouth more times about amplifiers than I have from him.
for now I must settle for the mmats sq4160
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister during World War II said: “It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion; truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
For what you get, the price point on this amp is really nice too. If I could fit it in my car, I'd spring for one ASAP.
it really is... just under the 600.00 mark to my door for a overbuilt 5 channel imo is fair. The HD to me seems to be a bit overpriced but most JL to me is. (I give them props for being bullet proof though) The Zed Levithan is one hell of a good sounding amp and if he got the issues worked out a very strong competitor in the single amp solution. Other than those two I'm not sure what respectable single amp solutions there are currently on the market.
It seems as though this time I made a great choice. It's going to be a tough call between the Zuki and modded Arc SE's in my new build. I think the Zuki will win out just for the single heat sink option.
The other night I checked my email and noticed a email from Patrick @ zuki that contained a tracking number... odd I thought... I emailed him back to let him know I hadn't ordered anything... half hoping he had a mix-up and sent the wrong person the tracking number... then I thought well I hope I don't have to ship someone an amp he mistakenly shipped me..
I got an email back saying it was my "owners manual" Now I like the audio control and "zed" manuals that try and teach you something and make you laugh. This one was something I've yet to see... a single page laminated.... sweet! short to the point and even my gorilla ass is going to have a hard time destroying this!
He included a few cd's with it and I'm not sure if it's a thank you for taking the time to do the review or suggesting the manual... either way... win!
I've yet to mess with more than a basic tune as I had an issue with a sub I'm trying to work out and thought it to be a waste of time to get serious about tuning without the proper sub,.... So more on my thoughts when install is finished!
Yeah I jokingly asked him where my laminated instructions were for my line driver. He said he was getting to everyone that purchased something. I guess we all get one eventually.
Nice review! Are they really on the same level as the Arc SE amps?
I'm on the fence for buying an Zuki 5ch one amp solution or the Aura rpm amps that PE has on buyout. If these are better than the Auras and at the same level as some of the amps listed above than the Zuki is a little more appealing to me.

Of course I'm biased on the subject but yes I feel that the ELEETS series are on par with Arc SE, Sinfoni, Zapco C2K, McIntosh, etc... I've owned/used most of the brands I just mentioned and ended up selling off every amp in my inventory once I got my Zuki setup. Keep in mind, this was as a customer before I had ties to Zuki Audio.

I ran a aura 675 and lets just say I was far from thrilled. bowdowns 2150's sound pretty darn good... they make decent power and it's clean.
The Zuki hasn't wowed me yet(as in jumped up and make me take notice). It has however been bullet proof... has not had a hiccup. puts out nice clean power.
It to me does what it needs to do. I have yet to tune the car however. Tomorrow I will be wrapping up the false floor and get tuning under way.
If I had to make the choice again I'd buy this amp without a thought. good power decent size and it works.
After all I don't want to know I have an amp in my system. I just want to hear music :-)
