Looks like the AMP Annealer will have some competition soon

[saxeTshooter]

With the pricing on the AMP it basically begs a competitor to enter the market.

This unit is not going to be a replacement for the AMP. Its already been around for a couple of years but hasn't gained mass popularity like the AMP.

If you are a competitive shooter and own an Amp, you understand that it is worth every penny.

Now that I have owned one for a couple of years, you couldn't wrestle it out of my hands.

It’s been around but hasn’t been available in the United States until now.

Now if this annealer had a little conveyer belt on the top that auto dropped in the brass, amp would be up for sale

AMP does sell the auto feeding mechanism to go on the AMP. It is an auto case feeder for the Dillon machines.

You mean the amp mate?

For another $500

The whole voodoo thing amp does relies heavily on the aztec soft. According to amp’s manufacturer it adjusts the annealing time and therefore the cases are annealed perfectly. Like a good steak.

If the quick anneal guys want beat the amp, they should prove, provide some evidence that their r&d behid their product is superior.
People buy amp due to confidence in the perfect annealing time.

Or those in the market for a AMP. If the Quick Annealer can do the same or more for $500-$600 less. Why pay more ? Competition is always a good thing for the consumer .

Kind of like the Garmin Xero!

From their accomplishments overseas it appears they have already proven themselves. They have been around for years. As far as the Aztec software goes the sensors in the quick anneal do the same thing by adjusting heating temp and time . It just doesn’t burn up a case or charge extra for the software. The quick anneal can also detect when a different brand is mixed in or when there is an anomaly with the neck thickness. I don’t believe the AMP has the technology to do either of those things. Not to mention it works with any variable speed case feeder. For $990 shipped and you don’t need seperate pilots. As I’ve said competition is always good for the consumer.

Where is the evidence? Hardness tests and so on? I support competition, but would like to take an informed decision on buying an annealer.

Good to see some competition. Doubt this company cares about stealing current Amp owners. They’ll be going after those wanting to get into induction annealing game. And if the price is right, Amp will feel the pinch…

After looking at AMP website their videos faq etc… They don’t provide anymore information than the Quick Annealer does. We aren’t talking about rocket science here. However I can see in the quick Annealer videos that it can differentiate between different brands of brass . This alone can not be done using a AMP. They also show how anomolys in the same brand of brass are shown. Again something the AMP is unable to do. Looks like the technology may be more advanced in the quick Annealer. Time will tell.

Got my amp during in 2022. Was a huge improvement over my flame annealer, even though I had to single feed the cases. Was able to pick up an ampmate this spring. Bet I’ve annealed more than 8,000 cases in the last 6 months. Once you get it setup right it runs smooth. Just have to fill the hopper every 30- 45 minutes. Cost a few $ but worth every penny imo. Won’t trade the setup for anything at this point. Paired with the Henderson trimmer brass processing is a breeze.

Wish I had your luck. I had an amp mate and had to return it. I’m pretty mechanically inclined and tried everything under the sun to get it to work properly. I had it set up for one lot of brass, and the same caliber in a different lot and the amp mate started messing up and would have to retune it.

you dont have the amp mate??

I suggest you examine the Research section on AMP’s web site. Perhaps I missed the similar content on the Quick Anneal site?

The Quick Annealer can do more and costs substantially less. Not to mention. Amp themselves state on their website that their amp mate isn’t compatible with br/bra cases. Plus requires you spend more money and buy a case feeder . When for $600 less the quick Annealer can literally be used with any variable speed case feeder. As well as differentiate between different neck thicknesses or other anomolys such as if a different brand of brass gets mixed in. That’s technology that the AMP simply doesn’t offer.

Buy what suits your needs.

What we need is objective and transparent comparative test.
AMp vs. quick anneal- hardness test of brass in different calibers and subsequent shooting. I would be happy to pay less for more but due to lack of evidence I am not going to spend my money on quick anneal.

 

[stavey]

As already posted . As far as technology. The quick anneal offers more than the AMP. If you watch the videos on YouTube it will show differences in neck thickness among same brand manufacturers. As well as identify when a different brand gets mixed in. This feature will allow you to sort based on 1 more variable.The AMP can not do any of that. It also has a test feature that adjusts time and temp according to whatever brass you are using. Similar to the AMP . All that being said annealing brass is not rocket science. (Contrary to what AMP may want you to think)
After talking with them and watching their videos. I ordered one . Sounds like there will be plenty of others using them soon as well . Should have plenty of comparisons and reviews before long.
Time will tell.
