Can't even tell that the challenge is still valid. The links above contain second hand documentation and I can't find any website directly associated with Richard Clark or any instructions on how to enter the challenge. There is an old email address for Richard Clark but it has not been valid since 2006,

"They should contact Richard Clark for the details. As of 2006 Richard Clark is reported to not have a public email account, and David Navone handles technical inquiries for him. Most likely they will need to pay a testing fee and get themselves to his east coast facility."
Even the link on David Navone's website only provides a PDF file of 2005 rules with no instructions for entering the challenge.
[Edit. The rules in both links refer to CAR amplifiers.]

maxflinn:sounds a bit like it was a money racket ...
Looks a LOT like a 'money racket'. (But maybe not one that paid very well if the guy hasn't been able to afford an email account since 2006.)
I doubt it will stop some people from using it as 'evidence' that all amps sound the same nonetheless.

i stumbled across it whilst looking for a review of a leema pulse , on another forum , one guy was shouting that the leema was the dogs , and most of the rest are dogs
, so someone stuck up a link to the amp man (scam ? sham ?) , probably to shut the other guy up ...
its nonsence imo ...a scam...

If I understoodit correctly when I read about it a few years ago, you could basically choose your system, other than the front end. I'd have loved to have done it, as I do believe amplifiers sound quite different. But with $10,000 being a tad under £7k, I don't think it'd be worth the air fair etc getting there to do it. Bring it to me and I'll have a go
