Jazzy939: Is it the one near NIXIE? i miss JP alot, long time didnt go there ald. Might be off topic, u know any shop in JP selling 12AU7? A tube preamp match with T-amp might be a good idea

xtorm, jazzy, this Mean Well is quite a famous Taiwanese brand (value to money) in industrial grade SMPS, that is why I said RM55 is a bargain.

This SMPS should be industrial grade, not just mean for DIYers, I used some of their 24V SMPS in industrial PLC control environment back to 1996,
working fine in 7/24 non air-cond and dusty environment (even in India) ....

Those cap palang PC PSU really can't compare with this brand.

jazzy, this SMPS I kept for around 10 yrs liau
it is 24V 2.1A version, close to 200 bucks that time.

BTW, note the "V Adj" trimmer? It can be adjusted around 10% of the output voltage (11V to 13V+) 

added:

some of my audio gears for T-amp test

worth buy huh?

which MD deck you saw huh? maybe just sapu by me 
Will, I like MD due to its durability (all MD discs c/w plastic case so no scratch issue, i just pop in and out, even just throw around in the glove compartment in my car).

That 24V MW SMPS with me 10yrs without power ON, still virgin          
May dig out another one or two units more, if my wife didn't throw it away lah!

walau, I think the towkey of that shop must "thank" jazzy and myself for highly praise of this smps

jazzy,

Could I find out name of that particular shop from you? 

I try to blast hard now with the FS speakers, damn, current draw hardly exceed 1000mA

I blast at damn high level...we hardly drive to that level for normal listening condition.
So 1.3A should be enough provided you got enough uF     

kasi test....kasi test....kasi test....kasi test....  coils lah      

"I will give both hands plus two legs" if you post to me for a test
btw, good workmanship bro 

eh btw,,,

you both of you hav 4 boards...why not buy a bigger amp unit...hahaha

Y.C. on his way to get his baby

hahah i mean smpslah...aiyo

yaler i very jealouslah, you guys all enjoying the t-amp...me working...hmmm

jazzy, waiting for your good result!! orders will come pretty soon once you have good result...

resistance is near 0? mine original coil around 1.4 ohm

Air coil winding

It's alright, jazzy. I'd be going down town during my lunch break and was thinking of getting one in JP afterwards since I'm also getting my T-amps from xtorm later today. Just would need to walk into more shops and hager price with each of them. Hey, I thought you just got them yesterday? 

BTW, I already PMed you details of our order of Vishay BC caps/resistors with Farnell.

Actually my Fluke recorded max reading of 912mA 

I got 1A to 1.5A SPMS, gonna test it later

Jazzy,

This afternoon was too rush; ran a few errants nearby my office area and it's already too late to go KL, so going down to JP tomorrow instead. Xtorm told me you indicated the shop is near Nixie and he asked me to be on a lookout for a young and skinny Chinese girl and that's the shop. 

Picked up my T-amps from xtorm this afternoon. Wow, the actual board is so small ya; don't know whether it got enough space for us to fit in those caps and resistors we ordered or not? And not forgetting the extreme care we need to exercise with the soldering iron. 

Thanks for concern.

ongbs, hehe, scared others steal your kungfu ler ? 

jazzy, have you measured the original inductors with your new shinning meter? in uH?

pls measure it and "report" here
not sure it is my inductance meter problem or what...my meter read 5uH..

Thanks, Jazzy.

Yes, the little marvel looks much bigger in pictures and considering this small little fella to reproduce fine sounding music, it's quite unbelievable. I thought the soldering job was a 'lil rough and not refined but for RM55, I guess it's no issue here. 

Talking about soldering iron, I'll need one too as my made-in-China elchepo soldering iron was last used 5/6 years ago and it's now full of rust. Will buy a finer tip soldering iron just like you.
