Ipoh should have ler! Otherwise I can get it and post to you...
Make sure the board/kit can take your 3A transformer k. I think your good looking casing can accommodate both the T-Amp and PSU.. err maybe not. Transformer too big! Then need separate casing for that too!

I hope the t-amp not too large so I can put all the thing inside. more screen shot

Ya, we all missed you during your absence. This thread needs a moderator and you are the most suitable candidate around!

Y.C.,
Thanks for the confidence but I am only doing this for fun! Just like all of you here!

I was away down south, taking the family for a holiday, just one day and night away, hence my absence.

Any more 'mods' on your side?

Heyy thats look pretty neat!
I can tell you, the T-Amp board is small! should fit that case nicely!!
I want that casing too! hahahaha

Ha ha if you want I can get it for you. and sent it to you.

jazzy,

A very responsible husband and father indeed of you to bring your family out for outing although it may be a short one.

Me? None other than having drilled 2 more holes on the rosewood casing. Now, awaiting to receive my T-amp board and a 50k ohm step attenuator from Hong Kong.

Any further improvement to the sound of your T-amp?

Thats very kind of you! Thanks. Will inform you...
Anyway to make you feel better, the 12V transformer that I got, is only 500mA/5VA capacity, hence the cheaper price!
Just checked just now. This is solely to power my DIY pre-amp kit.. a lower current/power requirement...

Y.C.,
I'd say every husband/father is one, one way or the other! We try to be the best, in our own way.
The wife, kids need a break from the routine. Me too. Spending time away together among other things, improve the bond... This what build a good family, and later my children's family... Leadership by example eh?

A complete step attenuator from Hong Kong? Expensive?
Not to discouraged you, I read somewhere, can't recollect where, is that stepped attenuator is kinda 'dry' in sonics.. I guess it is MORE expensive that the T-Amp, right?

Counting the days when the T-Amp is arriving ya...

Oh, EKK brand. Saw this in brand in one of the shop. My transformer didn't state 500mA. The box only state 12V-0-12V 3A. Hope I can get all the things done. and sitting there to enjoy the music.

Yours I saw is a Teletron OT-1203... Dunno what it means... hopefully the number 3 is for 3 Amperes!
EKK, Teletron are quite a familiar name. Teletron make a lot of PSUs, inverters and the like...
You get back to me if you cannot find a suitable 12V regulator kit, k.

Yup, if I cannot find hope you can help me to find it for me. Thanks.

Not a problem. For you and any other T-Amp fans here!

jazzy,

Yes, I fully agree that all of us need a break from the routine once a while and spending time away together improves the bond and love for one another in the family.

As the Alps blue carbon would cost me RM70, I decided to pay slightly more and opt for step attenuator at RM110 instead. It is more expensive than the T-amp in stock form but I may also replace the capacitors and resistors later. I also read about other diy forumers preferring carbon pots of lesser value of 10k ohm / 20k ohm than discrete pots and was hoping I would be able to tweak the sound around to my taste.

Years ago, I built the Audio Note kit 1 amp. I just could not forget the liquid midrange sound of it using a discrete pot which was later lost when I have to replace it with Alps carbon.

you got the right trans bro, 500mA too low for the t-amp
wow...30 bucks is quite high i think...price increased a lot

Yup RM30. don't know is the sale girls tipu me or not.

mysghooi,
This a link to FUTURE KITS. Some of my kits are made by them and they have a website!

Variable Regulator

This is a similar one that I used for my Bench PSU.

The board is big, therefore you need a separate casing for it, like what I did.
But in my case, its for general purpose power supply function.

I'd say this is high quality. It's your call.

I can look for a dedicated 12V regulator KIT or DIY option

Y.C.,
I read a lot about the Alps blue.. mostly good. However I have never used them in any of my applications!
Yes, I did read about the carbon pots too...
Liquid midrange eh..? Hmmm
Guess I'll wait for your reports/findings.. I am in no rush.. having a commercial pre-amp is a blessing!, Not to mention a DIY pre-amp too!

i do have AudioSource pre one pre-amp (previously pair with my Ampzilla), haven test it with t-amp yet.

Whats stopping you?
