If you can find one, a Kelvin Labs integrated, 15W of pure class A love.
I feel your pain, one of my class D amps went nova on itself last week.
Thanks chaps - I face a bit of a dilemma. Will need to keep funds (no idea how much as yet) available to pay for the repair, so am probably limited to about £300-£400 or so if I buy something else as a temporary replacement.
A loaner would be most welcome (many thanks indeed). I’m in Northumberland, but could travel to collect.
The Gato drives the H2s very well. Other H2 owners seem to think they need sturdy current rather than hefty watts up em.
In any case, I have no amp, so anything that works will be better than nowt.
Cheers

You and me, we are the same… 
Grab one of those T amp thingies off ebay for between £30 - £100 quid. SMSL seem pretty good.
Understand. I was going to say that I have a Quad 909 which I’ve been playing with my Ta’us for a change, would be ideal as its got just the right mix of current and midrange texture. But I think that’s just out of your budget for a stand in whilst you’re waiting for the Gato to be repaired.
Sincere thanks to Gregg for the offer of a loan of his Lyngdorf.
I’m going to wait for a repair quote/timescale before going any further.
Will keep you posted.
Thanks
It’s a terrific amp. In fairness, I’m not aware of general reliability problems.
OTOH, based on my own experience alone, they are 100% unreliable. But hey, I’m just in a shitty mood…
Got a pair of Bantam monoblocks + power supply lurking somewhere, easy enough to post if you’re stuck.

Many thanks. Will bear that in mind.
I’m getting a strange warm feeling from the generosity displayed in this thread.
Either that, or I’ve wet myself. I’ll check.
I like this place, but we need a better selection of smiley emoticon thingies.

I dunno really - puts out for a half of cider and a bag of chips, perhaps?
Happy to loan pro tem.
I have a pair of old cyrus mono blocks you can borrow if you want Horace?
I’m not too far away from you so can drop off if you want. Minimum hassle and you get some music.

Many thanks - will send you a pm shortly.
After reading this - I decided to try out my old Trends class D -Yep It smoked
So I have lost two class d amps in a month. Annoying

Just had an email back from Gato.
If I ship the amp to them in Denmark, they’ll fix it and return it free of charge.
Doesn’t get much better than that.

Not breaking in the first place would be a bit better.
