jazzy, thank you so much, will liaise xtorm.

Walau bro xtorm, u senyap-senyap then open a thread in Audiophile
Me still playing around with the T-amp, sound just great especially for its affordable price

bro xtorm, i think the volume control can't works on this amp as it only got single pot, you need double for stereo right?

haha eh tell lah how does it compare to your old amp...

just install in my car, my impression is wow...

the moded amp is runing my mids, tight bass, kinda suprise they are so low power

the tweeter also sweet and the soundstage...yum yum...

hm my U-dimension amp is faulty, gona cost alot to repair it, gona try my USAmp later this week to compare, tht amp is 4x25w

for those don't have casing, try find some kaput car amp casing, it will fit in nicely and look pro!

Some more shielding should give better SQ
Just an Idea....

Noob Question : Does T-Amp sound like intergrate stereo amplifier?Like those marantz onkyo denon NAD cambridge?

to me it sound better (playing music, not AV) than my Kenwood DTS AV AMP, damn expensive about 8 years back. (the DVD from the same family cost me RM2700 that time, this AMP even more)

I am stuck to SQ that I like, not an audiophile thought....
but for sure the SQ for this AMP will fulfill most ppl, don't know about audiophile lah

Good idea indeed!
A metal casing have it's advantages, shielding is one of them.
Hmm may I have one to spare

Terribly good question!
In this bolehland we do not have access locally to good casings..
we're limited to whatever that are being offered in the shops(JP), pricey, limited and pathetic designs.
If you can afford it, can be custom made but, definitely 'costly'.
Only you can justify the extra cost over a chip/'cheap' amp.

haha im trying to forget tht im actually modding a very cheap amp with expensive parts hahaha

the board is cheap but the sound is not, and those mods bring good outcome! this board is so simple tht most of the component count

Agreed! The physical value may be 'small'; but the sonic value is 'awesome'.. hence, I will definite make an equally awesome casing!

Just replied to your PM reply, TQ

Guys,
This just came to my mind.
The computer switching power supply typically have a +12V DC rated anything from 12A to 16A! I think this would be a great power supply to the T-Amp, no? I have read somewhere switching power supply works well with the T-Amp.
I think the casing is big enough to house the T-Amp entirely! Of course, a separate housing for the amp is another option.
Possible?

Should be able to use the PC PSU, just worry if the board put inside, will it affect the SQ due to high switching frequency?
I am using external 12V 4A switching PS to drive my floor standing speakers, no noise/humming sound

yep was planing to do tht, but my antec 480 when into anoter pc edi

get those with active pfc, put in a variable resistor to tune the voltage to 13v!!

ongbs, you very shioklah....me wan listen to proper setup also canotler, can only listen in car which is noisy like hell, goto put back my firewall sound insulation edi, also my floor carpet

xtorm,
bring the T-amp back to your house mah can test lor
Another option is send me your T-amp so I can test kaw-kaw for you...
I will blast it with FS speakers together with bookshelf (ya, will connect all together)

then i didnt go wat for i send youlah send my ears also ah



im loving the sound in my car, it is much more compare to my old setup which cost quite abit for the amp, but tht was in an old iswara which the whole acousitc is very different compare to this car.

the soundstage is good, there is depth, and it is wide, position is kinda good and the source is my handphone, hahaha, so no time aligment.

im happy, but it really is garbage in garbage out, some mp3 file sounded nice while others not really good

the highs is abit eggy now, changing the input cap should solve tht easily.

my unit is less then few hours run, still far away from the recomended 100hours burn in, it will take me a month or 2 to get tht figure if its in my car

No need send me your ears lah bro ....
Drive your car "into" your house will give your better listening experience

I got a few higher uF caps now and gonna mod it soon, Nippon 16V 3300uF, ELNA 56V Audio cap 8200uF
Wanna try out Panasonic audio NP cap but it is 4.7uF...
