wglenn said Scott, I bought one of these last year and have never looked back. If you are doing this kind of work this will speed you up. The extra heat will get things done with less risk of overheating your boards and the speed alone is worth the price. The smoke suction is also nice!
Does the hot-air rework part get easily hot enough to remove surface mount parts & chips?
Do the solder tips last awhile?
Tips are durable. I haven’t used the hot air for anything but preheating and heat shrinking, but my understanding is that it will do surface mount. I haven’t got brave enough to try it yet. The desoldering tool is nice.
Stop-Gap until taking the plunge on full rework station–
Cool, someone did an A100:

Hmmm, those mono amp boards, look familiar 
(scroll to bottom)
Been awhile (too busy listening!). Music just soars out of this thing ( the extension out to 50KHz might help where the 200asc started rolling off at 15KHz! )…
Get your popcorn ready. About to post something about the DL3.
Anyone know if these are functional balanced in connections* on the Trio? – Maybe it’s just the same board as the p200 preamp and these go nowhere?
There is space for mini xlr connections, or in place of the RCA’s. Hmmmm.
*possibly in parallel with input 1 rca’s
I wish I remembered but it sure looks like they are ready to go. The Gain Cells were all fully balanced in and out, so there’s a very good chance you’re right.

Just about to purchase a 2 hand Trio C100 and would like to replace the old ICE modules with the updated 300ASC’s.
What is the price for the two new modules?

ICEpower
hello boys
There was someone looking for ICEpower. Here they can be bought at the address here. I would like to help if necessary
Here’s a little touch I added: The Ice 300’s have [fault – over/under voltage – thermal – distortion/clipping alert] LED headers… routed those to the front.
Used yellow like the old Adcom “instantaneous distortion alert” Found perfect flush fitting LED’s like the stock blue, sunlamp bright so you’ll know they triggered and clear when off, looks clean. Here I’m turning the amp on/off –>
(repost, got zapped this morning)
How did you get the cover back on?
I just replaced my modules with the 300’s and I can’t get the cover back on because some of the components hit the volume control board when you try to close it.
Thanks,
Kevin Looker
WARNING don’t do this AUG2018 this is not perfectly plug & play. Need to trim things down (vol control board) to get the case to close, and remove the front LED panel (not as bad as it sounds) – mention in a buried post, but some people are doing this now. I’ll try to do a write up / video, maybe.
