haha tht kind of thinking kinda correct

but somehow tripath is the only famous d-amp, or t-amp as tripath calls it...mayb ta2022 is a good investment?

wah your fomula ada beara percent chun? scaryler, if so few klor!!

haha..my formula for my own pocket only..just a joke.
Well, I believe bro jazzy will nego a good price for us, just wait for his reply

bro ongbs,
thank you for the vote of confidence!
hopefully will receive a reply by this afternoon.
anyhow, I don't really hope it's going to be 'dirt' cheap. Just trying our luck here

jazzy,

As much as I suspect that I will prefer the Charlize (TA-2020)'s sound over the RM55 TA-2024 kit amp that I ordered from xtorm with its slight more power and purported finesse if I were to perform direct comparison between the two, I wholeheartedly AGREE with you that the TA-2024 kit T-amp is the Best Bang per Buck Amp; and if I actually find the 2 x 15W into 4 ohm power of TA-2024 kit amp is adequate to drive my Q-Acoustics 1010 loudspeakers at moderate and not head banging level, I will stick with the TA-2024 kit amp and forget the Charlize kit at RM350.

The TA-2024 kit amp at RM55 is a no brainer, it is almost a sin not to try it out if we happens to be on the look out for an amplifier.

Y.C.,
I whole heartedly agree with your statement! The bolded one!
My pre T-Amp setup is based on a 90W RMS/Channel, Class AA amplification. Imagine how sceptical I was on a tiny Class D 6 watter!
The T-Amp phenomena did not change the whole hifi industry overnight and make other classes of amplication obsolete, it just give a new insights with regards to the performance of class D or in the case of Tripath, Class T.

Personally, I am here for the music!
We want the 'best' for minimum RM, always on the look out for best value for money stuffs and it so happened TA2024 came calling in

At the end of the day, what matter most is (at least to me!), if it makes us enjoy the music like we want to.. so be it! It doesn't matter if it's a RM55 6Watts amp..

haha

audionote making good money with small watter

eh bro jazzy u play with ta2022 b4? or was it another t-amp?


bro Y.C...hahhaa thts a pretty good statement, you heard charlize before, once you have done yours give us your feed back, i think in the original form ta2024 is no match to charlize, those input cap must be change!

xtorm,
the TA2024 is my first from Tripath.
I had played around with alot of DIY amps.. namely discretes.. about to start on GainClone but was put on hold because of the 'expensive' toroidal transformer requirements.. then the TA2024 came along..

I don't think I would want to try out other Tripath chips, unless they're "a sin not to buy"
But I am curious how would other Class D would sound compared to this TA2024..

yeah.. you and your input caps! but I do agree with you

jazzy with a good philosophy....KIC KIC KIC.....RM36 for a 20uF......!!! I'll pass.....I think can get from online slightly cheaper than that thanks.... for what????....hehe another mod.....

jazzy your killing me here....if the Class D that you try to get is around my budget I think I might suspend my Gainclone project here....updates updates....

gabanyayaya,
The anticipated reply from that Class D amp supplier did not arrived.
My GainClone project still KIV.. am NOT giving up hope yet.
I don't really want to pit the T-Amp with the GC. Eventhough they are chip amp but they are from different breed altogether, unless the GC is also a Class D, you know what I mean? I am not throwing out D'Bom either!

D'Bom...sounds familiar.....last time when i'm considering a class d amp from hypex it cost almost the total of my hifi system and i have to leave it for good...now when you mention this amp kit, it really put me in a mood again for another journey...will you able to bring this to a reality jazzy...??? sure ke belum giving up????? bole dapat harga bagus ka??? well i think the supplier will respond la but takes time....2...3 day more....be patient la uncle

gabanyayaya,
if you were asked to pick between the T-Amp and GC what would be your choice? Tough one, huh? What about D'Bom thrown in for good measure?

I found out from another thread that the so called supplier that I was communicating with was the designer of the amp himself!
He must be busy, I'll give him some time to respond... no big deal here.. It is just an option.
I am not into the 300W per channel thing, only curious how would another Class D amp would sound like using Tripath's TA2024 as the reference.

I can't really say whats going to happen. All pending to the $$$. Remember, we're looking for value for money stuffs or best bang per buck. It MAY be affordable.. I am worry about additional costs like shipping etc...

hey jazzy....don't put D'Bom into the lines la....just let it be as it was.....a ref. besides your Technics...can't put it to the same league as others....

between GC and T-amp......hmmmmm my last visit to diyparadise Charlize last AV show...I found that the sounds of Charlize a bit 'backwards' with their full range horns......i don't know why but i wasn't impress. maybe my ear or something else. but I think SQ vary between different T-amp designs. GC...got no idea how does it sounds.......

Like me too.... I'm not after at those heavy monster wattage power lah.....me just like a moderate 40-60W amp. The most important is the dynamics it can produce out of those tiny wattage power to my speaker that counts...

Carefull curiosity will lead you to overkill...hehehe

As for shipping I guess won't cost a fortune ler........once can bulk you save more, besides look at LY bulk section, there's many people willing to help... Lets poison poison here...

Fair enough!

Expectations can actually change perceptions

HiFi is very personal.. it shouldn't matter what others say right?

Yes.. I do not expect the shipping to be that high, after all its a small 'package'..

We'l have to wait and hope for the best...

I'll spin 'The Best Is Yet To Come' in the mean time... still 'burn in' the T-Amp..

Want to try some acoustic sounds...??? just loose that Diana Krall for a while lah.....

Jazzy would it be costly too for other extra part for the class D like PSU, tranny, plug... etc???

I have read this somewhere and I tend to agree..
playing the T-Amp especially in the office will not get your work done

Again, like any good amp design, a good power supply would help or made (some) difference!, eventhough the Class D amp are not that 'choosy'.. linear or not, SMPD, batteries, anything goes!

So for a 'normal' no frills 12VDC 3A regulated PSU would costs around RM50-60, inclusive of other minimal hardware requirements.

Is this 'too much' to pay?

As long as the amp it self doesn't cost such ridiculous amount i guess nahh...but....casing must be good. I like a unique casing....any ideas/lobangs?

Again, this is very subjective!

Heyy, me too! Anyway, I am about to get a quote for this type of casing tomorrow..
What you think? Or you have a particular style in mind, why not share it here?




Attached image(s)

anything shiny and glittering is EXPEN$IVE.....that casing looks very overkill kill kill....

how about this one

This is even worst! = more expensive!
I see lotsa machined aluminium alloy!

The casing that I like will only require a 'flash chrome' plating and a good fine metal polish..

Wonder why we are the only two 'chatting' here..
