xtorm,
so far I have not gone to clipping levels just yet! All this while just playing jazz/slow numbers.. Just wait till I take out some ROCK numbers.. maybe I need to go 13VOLTS!!!

Ooops.. I am ALL that? What I do here is nothing lah Y.C., just for fun as an electronic hobbyist and audio/music lover.. just sharing the experience and some knowledge..

Yup. I think gabanyayaya is bent on the GC, the T-Amp performance is throwing off his 'sanity'.. hahahaha

xtorm, if you can get gabanyayaya and ijan to join us, you have my

YES! I have gone more than 40 hours as of yesterday! .. sweeeeet music

Those yellow caps that came with the T-Amp is 1uF in value and a smaller (in size) connected in parallel with the yellow cap is an electrolytic 1uF polarised. Wonder why it install in such a manner?

thank you xtorm for making this board value for money! the enjoyment that we had certainly money can't buy

pcwork terribly busy with study and re-cabling as usual..

xtorm,
if you read the evaluation board document, it is clearly stated that "12V power supply (not to exceed 13.2V)"
Exceeding this can damage the chip. It is on page 2 under 'Introduction'

I guess you're running on 2.2uF now eh?

xtorm,
the car nominal voltage is usually around 13.5VDC.
I guess it is safe to go that high then! We'll see if there would be any difference sonically..

gabanyayaya,
of course la you can listen to mine.. remember what happened the last time when you listened to something at my place?
Surely for 55 bucks.. it's worth the gamble.. I did, and absolutely no regrets!

Sounds like a great idea! Anyone for M-cap? BTW, whats the price like?

Bro ongbs,
Thats heavy artillary!
1.5A max eh? Okay good info! Need to rethink about the SMPS usage for my 2nd. board..
Earlier I was using a 2.5A one.. I guess that should suffice eh?

So, the M-caps are out?
Y.C.,
You are right,the recommended value is usually 2.2uF and who are we to argue?

Why is it so hard to get 2.3uF 50V? Is it going to be 'expensive'?

xtorm,
why did you replaced the SMD resistor? SMD one no good?

Hmm.. little tweaks to be considered.. may be we should compile this, ya? Mods that can be done to the T-Amp.. Major and minor mods...

I understand from your point of view which is a good and safe choice!
I take a slightly different approach due to my different setup.. It's certainly works for me but may not for others..
This is the beauty and fun of this amp ya? You can customized the sound to your liking, all for 55 bucks!
Very very hard to beat!!!

Duly noted that poly caps.. wonder if this thing is avail. in JP..

Nixie is one of my fav. haunting grounds too...
Maybe I'll drop in this weekend to have a 'peek'
Thanks for the effort, Y.C. It's ok.

Good point Y.C.!
Anyway there are 'limits' in terms of upgrading..
I won't be carried away up to the point of replacing the majority if not all of the stock board's components!
Definitely there would be changes to the sound quality, whether its an improvement or not, thats another story..

xtorm,
where would you use those 0.47uF and 0.1 uF poly?
This one can get cheaply from Jalan Pasar.. abundance in Nixie.

This should make some improvements to the T-Amp, at RM25 it better will!

I'll let you try it first

The aluminium foil price is quite tempting.. should be ok to drive my tweeters..

we're waiting..

still waiting.. !

ongbs,
I was about to response with the same thing!!!

Holy smoke! Serious? That's too many of our good ringgit ler!

ongbs,
I am with you. The pix is enough!
Great! Will be looking forward for the pix of your completed unit soon!

xtorm,
if the pana are at rm6 each, i want!

output stage? ok got it. i thought so too.

If RM6, five should suffice!

The thread was too quiet today.. Are we too busy with work?

bro ongbs,
The T-Amp installation completed? C'mon.. let's see the finished product!

Wahhh.. you also direct solder.. I will follow suit!

Y.C.,
Wahhh.. still up and awake at this hour busy with caps replacements! Wow! This is passion at it's best..
