Y.C.,
I can't decide if this is an insult or compliment to the digital medium! hahaha

Jazzy,
The pleasure is mine. Thanks for your compliment but honestly speaking you actually did it better than me.
This is our passion and fine art of sharing (not being stingy in imparting what we know and how we feel). We also picked up at lot from other forums which we are not contributing members. Ever wonder whether any local audio magazine would be interested in engaging us as their part-time reviewers?

Yes, I fully agree that I need to let the sound of stocked T-amp fully sink into my mind so as to appreciate and able to tell the improvements brought about by each modification later on.

Wow, how much did you pay for the Elnas? Are they Elna Cerafine 2.2uF? Good stuff

Y.C.,
You're most welcome
True to the words, we're doing this, ie sharing and learning at the same time because of our passion. Yes.. time for me tocontribute after all this while just reading and learning all those great stuffs from the forums all over

Local mag? Engaging us? Would you accept the offer? I would! I got to play with the TOYS!

Nah NOT the Cerafine, just a 'normal' one.. Will put up some pictures later.. I am 'not at home' this moment..

Can't wait to get my other stuffs for the 'upgrade'.. looks like more reviews coming up...

walau bro, after read you guy's review, I am a bit "photo-shy" and "comment-shy" liau

You did? I was there around 1230 to 2 pm.. it was drizzling. U should have called me!
NIXIE is not along Jalan Pasar per se.. it's off Jalan Pasar. The road is Jalan Landak

Most other shops selling from RM80 onwards.. some not even Mean Well!

The name of the shop is WIZE INTELLIGENCE SDN. BHD.
Got to meet the leng-lui (Cherry) today, she's few months pregnant! hahahaha

RM58 is not too bad lah for a 3A

Elna Cerafine is affordable and sound performance is I'd say value for money

Eh, don't la like that bro..
We're here to share mah... incl. pix!

My T-amp has till this very moment clocked 11 solid hours of playing music non-stop since 14.25 on Saturday and it's time for me to hit the sack. Goodnight all.

Ya kah? Then my pics will come very soon liau! (nah jazzy, you knew that I really like to talk nonsense right, forgive me pls?)

"Got to meet the leng-lui (Cherry) today, she's few months pregnant! hahahaha "

Nah nah....your bad jazzy, at least give some 'hope" to bro xtorm....

just find The Store supermarket, Nixie is just in front/opposite...or take a left turn at first cormer from where you first enter JP ....

'floating ground'.....that's a new term for me...

Yes, I am beginning to notice!!!

I do not want xtorm to have so high hope, however there was another young leng lui which I did not catch her name!:P
I did asked her but.. forget lah.. me old oledi..

It is actually OPPOSITE the MAIN entrance of PUDU PLAZA!

It's just a term I use gabanyayaya.. you'll see it later

leng lui is girl named Cherry who sells SMPS....

Eh? Only tomorrow? Hearing IS believing huh?

Leng lui is leng lui lorrrr

jazzy,
What is your donut diameter?
refer to my pic, both black and green donuts about 12mm dia, with black one slightly wider.

The black one with 0.08" wire and 5 turns with no SQ distort but the green one with 12 turns of 0.09" wires still cause distortion, the uH not enough.
If your donuts about the same size then don't go for >0.09" wires. I will try 0.08" wire with the green one later.

note the twin input caps in test? It sound better to me

update:
hmm...with 20 turns of 0.08" wires still cause distortion!
lower till 6 turns still the same....possible this green donut not suitable for this application?

ongbs,
The ID is 8.37mm and the OD is 15.37mm.
The black one looks like it is of different material than the green one?
Mine is also painted light green but one side is painted brown.
You don't have anymore of those black donuts, no?
I think on the grren, you need more turns ler..

Are you using a linear PSU? Whats your 'tank' cap value there?

Yes yes saw that input caps! Better huh? Value?

Jazzy, I got 4 black donuts.
Not sure about material but look like more ferrite contain.

Yours bigger, should be OK, my green donut with max 20 turns, can't wind more unless I overlap it.

Using SPMS.
Input caps is 2.2uF (yellow) + 0.33uF (white), gave me brighter mid/high

ongbs,
why don't you use all black donuts?

actually you can overlap the coils..

So your input caps is 2.53uF total?

I put in a ELNA 2.2uF on Board 1.. obviously better that the yellow stock caps.. the sound is more lively!

Here's the pix...
