                     We will ship the package through one of these express couriers: DHL or EMS, upon receipt of the package , if anyone asks you pay extra shipping cost , please refuse to pay money and do not accept the package, and contact us at the earliest .But if custom ask you pay tax, we can't do anything .If you guess your custom will ask you pay heavy tax, we advice you ship by EMS, then maybe you can avoid pay heavy tax, but not 100% can avoid.
                     If you ever have some unhappy experience either DHL or EMS, let me know when you make the order, we can shipment by other express.
                     After you make the payment,please send us an email to confirm.
Because a lot customers' paypal accounts are different from the communicate email, so we can't sure who have paid. If we make something wrong , the customers maybe paid for the other people.

   Application : Generally the IC opamp application is designed for industrial usage. When the IC opamp is used for audio, the performance is less than satisfactory. This discrete opamp uses accurate matching of components and audiophile grade resistors, combined with dedicated audio design circuitry which gives a smooth and natural output sound. This discrete opamp can be used to replace existing opamp in amplifier or CD/DAC as an upgrade.

Quality assure: Every OPA is thoroughly tested twice on professional equipments , Our priority is Quality first, followed by Efficiency.
 

  OPA – Earth : Our first generation discrete opamp has been sold throughout the world by other marketing means. This discrete opamp utilizes integrated cascode circuit with the schematic based on single channel circuit which is an improvement based on new improved parameters and technology. The sound characteristics is neutral and natural . THD Less than 0.0005%(1KHz), Operating voltage:±9 TO ±25V,Open loop gain:35DB,Operating current: Approx. 28MA(Single OPA),Approx. 56MA(Dual OPA).(Products have been upgraded to Cap Model, using EVOX MMK capacitors. )
  We were the first to make and sell HDAM (OPA): We were the first to make and sell OPA-EARTH or sometimes called " HDAM " in China and overseas market . Through the links below , one can know that we have designed and made the original HDAM beginning in 29-6-2005 , although these links are in Chinese , but it has pictures and posting date . Beginning on 2006 , we were OEM for huge quantities of HDAM for an agent . We are the only one in the world, to have the PCB diagrams and files of original HDAM .

  OPA - Moon : This discrete opamp uses dual differential gain stage and single ended output stage circuit design , we try and audition for a long period of time . The OPA-Moon sound characteristics is a bit of tube-like (vacuum valve) , soft and slightly thick, and full of emotions . THD Less than 0.0008%(1KHz), Operating voltage :±9 TO ±25V,Open loop gain:33DB,Operating current:Approx. 28MA(Single OPA),Approx. 58MA(Dual OPA).(Products have been upgraded to Cap Model, using EVOX MMK capacitors. )


  OPA-SUN (Version 2) : This discrete opamp uses full balanced circuit design which is widely appreciated by our Hong Kong and American followers among our other products. THD Less than 0.0003%(1KHz), Operating voltage :±12 TO ±20V,Open loop gain:36DB,Operating current:Approx. 25MA(Single OPA),Approx. 50MA(Dual OPA).(Products have been upgraded to Cap Model, use EVOX MMK capacitors. )
What's new of SUN (Version 2) : We started selling the new version from 15th September , 2008.  Taking into consideration customer feedbacks and suggestions, we adjusted the circuits and parts , we improved upon the earlier version and came up with OPA-SUN (Version 2),  OPA-SUN (Version 2) does not sound as bright as  the original SUN,  but  it maintains the energy, huge dynamics and good impulse response (fast). 

 The discrete opamp not only can replace typical single or double output opamp, but it also has a separate earth(ground) wire which can be connected to the earth of the player. Even if the earth wire is not connected or used, the output sound will have slight difference. The user can choose to decide on his own, but we recommend to connect the earth wire to ground.  Please do not  connect OPAs earth wire to AC power socket ground.
We guarantee to keep OPA in working condition without charging any labor cost, but customers will need pay for shipping charges both ways. The leads are not guaranteed for repair.

About Cap Mod of our OPAs:

    Some people have found improvements in SQ by adding capacitors on OPA. We evaluated the issue through a lot of listening and testing by professional equipment , see Figure 1.
    We concluded that by adding two capacitors , one connect V+ to earth , another connect V- to earth . The earth wire needs to be connected to GND of the gear. Through this Cap-Mod you can upgrade the sound and technical performance.
    If you don't connect the earth wire of OPA to GND , Figure 1 Cap-Mod become Figure 2 Cap-Mod . This Cap-Mod only needs one capacitor connect to V+ to V- , though this Mod you can upgrade the sound but it does not upgrade the performance technically.
    The technical performance can evaluated on professional equipment which lets us know where the improvement has taken place.
What capacitors can we use ?
    If one only needs to change sound character , the use of 0.01 UF would be OK . But we recommend the use 0.1 UF to 1 UF , in this way we can easily hear the improvements in SQ .
    Not any capacitors can be used for Cap-Mod . Different capacitors will produce different sounds , so the capacitors need to be chosen keeping in mind personal preference . For example:

WIMA can make it fast , dynamic and clear SQ . but if you want the sound to be warm and thick (textured) , don't use WIMA , in this case, oil- cap will be a better choice .
    We use EVOX MMK capacitors in the Cap-Mod of our OPAs . These capacitors were also called RIFA previously , but now it is called EVOX , the sound is soft and clear .
    Our OPAs have been upgraded to the best Cap-Mod , so people don't need add capacitors on our OPAs .
