yup....power supply...base on your experience...how much it cost??? a simple decent power supply.....then compared to that snubbed thing......









i like this one.....how's snubbed differ from normal one jazzy????

You've been doing homework and research ya!

A normal good quality regulated PSU should suffice for the GC. At least, I'll start here first.
Last year it cost me around RM70. The bulk of the cost goes to the transformer! This year should be slightly more..

Snubberized PSU is the use of resistor and capacitor network to restore the sound when you have a difficult speakers to drive and by using bigger caps on the power supply, tends to rob away your mids and high ends. The snubber network is supposed to restore this!
This is the best I could explain to you.

Snubberized PSU also use expensive high speed diodes(MUR860 (RM6 each)) and huge main reservoir caps @10000uF.. not including the toroid!
A 2x30V 225VA can set you back RM154(rsmalaysia price). A 10000uF 40V cap will cost Rm34 while a 63V one is RM150!

Unless you have very hard to drive speakers, a non-snubberized PSU should be fine!

Did I satisfactorily answer your question? Sorry for the deviation guys!

hmmm.... RM60-50 for amp and RM100 for PSU is still ok I guess....and you said toroid can be home made hehehe....this could be big project here...... jazzy is always here

casing taklak, lobangs ala 2 biji, kat hidung bawah

btw, saw that nice casing amp b4.....for sure it is easily 4 times our t-amp price

coz less one ah pek (me lah) barking here

hehe...

bro jazzy, you like flashy rather than flat black?

Heyy! That homemade toroid is a toroid inductor NOT a tranny!

spray it with flat black will make it look a bit more "classy"

hahaha this place is quiet la without you!

Most of my stuffs.. DIY stuffs included are normally black and shades of it.. kinda 'dull' huh?

This time, the 'flashy' chrome finish will definitely reflects the amp high fidelity, quality and 'out of this world' sound!
(pun intended)

Heck, may be I make a second one black with 'satin' finish!
I'm gonna have four boards anyway!

Just noticed, I just hit and exceeded the 2000th postings!

walau bro, when did I say it didn't impress me huh
I said if can pair it with proper home speakers sure will 'sing' the speakers with better soundstage!

some more your woofers didn't connect, just listen to mid bass speakers won't make my air liur come out!

btw, any one come across xtorm's car tolong kasi korek out the t-amp and Kevlar mid-bass spks then sell it to me,
he just beside me yesterday, I can't do it!

the car plate is 'T-amp 2024"

Sorry to disappoint you gabanyayaya...

Well, the basic T-Amp is singing sweetly now.. Diana Krall is playing infront of me here.. Simply couldn't locate my speakers!

RTL3, excellent speakers! They don't make these type of speakers anymore.. too bad...

The chrome thingy is done using electroplating method. Dip the required part in a 'chrome bath', connect it to one of the electrodes and switch ON for some time. Voila! Chrome plating!

Yes I ordered another 2 boards!

I haven't come across any spray paint that may reflecs the ori classy look "flashy" as nice as that expensive flashy look...if you do find one, let me know

ongbs,
this is no paint job!

so this chrome works from a kit rite?

This post has been edited by gabanyayaya: Aug 23 2008, 12:39 AM

Kit? What you mean?
It's just a plating done to any metal..normally we use steel.

Definition from wikipedia:
"Chrome plating is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. The chromed layer can be decorative, or it may help provide corrosion resistance."

like that ka....so can beli at any major hardware stores la.....what part you need?????

hsss even without playing any song?
may it cause by poor grounding/ circuit design?
this noise hardly heard on those higher range amp.

Mind to share more detail on your equipment setup?

Wahhh so interested!
