I think what most people want to know is what sort of technology this amp is built on? like 3 channel with virtual ground or four channel or discreet or something like that. Even if the board pics are posted here I have doubts that even 3% of the people are interested in copying the design - too much DIY time and effort to do that. The majority 97% which inlclude me would just prefer to have a listen and forget about the headache of the technical jargon behind the amp. Even Phil Larocco openly displayed his PPA, Lisa III and HeadCode schematics, same goes with Dr. Xin and many other amp makers, Steve Deckert and Graham Slee even revealed every nook and cranny of their amps for all to see -. Being open gives comfort to the prospective buyer knowing what they are going to spend their money on. I believe most would not want to buy a car if the car dealer refuses to show the engine bay. Personally I don't give a damm what technology the amp is built on, if someone can wire a frog and put it in a Milo tin and if it sounded better than any other amp in the market today, I will listen to it - simple as that.
This very own Malaysian made amp deserve a standing ovation for it to exist at all.

When a product comes out with a very suggestive name like "The Secret Amp" and carry a hefty price tag, the marketing approach muct match prospective customer expectations.
To date, the marketing engine for this amp have failed to clear the air for those that may be interested in purchasing one because eveything seems to be clouded in hazy description with so great a secret recipe. It is cool that PcWork offers prospective buyers to have a listen directly to the prototype amp in hand but seriously how many people will have the time and energy to go over and do this.
The marketing engine should be very transparent with details and what's at stake. Put clarity in the following: - Clarification of topology used - A bit of technical details - A glimpse of the actual amp
Revealing some info officially will help to boost sales for sure. Again take example from reknown amp makers, they are quite serious about marketing their amp in all possible way. And since customers nowadays are quite picky, they will shun any sale of items that are wrapped in mystery.
Bottomline, if it is so secretive why bother selling it? might as well don't advertise it at all and just circulate among peoples you trust.
My intention is to help set this thing straight, I believe it is indeed a superb amp and deserve all the attention it can get.
Cheers

LOL Scottie,you never fail to make me smile.
OTOH, I think this amp deserve a proper website and pro quality pics. Perhaps Walabies/Yuheng should get a DSLR and take some sexy photos.
Hopefully the public debut like mentioned above will materialize and folks will be able to catch a glimpse of the amp itself.
