That's no secret weapon!
That is more like an open secret! It's basically singing beautifully. Been listening to it since morning.. I have lost count on the 'burn-in' hours and I think there are no more sonic improvements.. However the speaker relay board is still a prototype. Just completed the PCB drawing today.. will try to etch it tomorrow..

something like that
buffer stage are used normally for impedance matching...
if done properly will have some enhancements in the sonic department.. hopefully!

That's the interesting part! Dunno what to expect!

Good work Y.C!
I see a lot of effort (and blisters) has gone into it

Yeah that 12VDC,ongbs may have a point there. One of the reasons why I never used them..

The circuit for the JFET buffer is widely available on the Net. Original circuit is using 2SK170s, but can't get those from JP. NIXIE was out of stock but by the looks of the amount dust collecting in the box I'd say it had been a long while they're out!
I got an equivalent. If you're still interested, PM me for the circuit ya!

gabanyayaya,
I think I know which one.
From MAPLIN going down towards NIXIE, just a few shops away.. about 4-5 shops. Kinda expensive that shop however have bought transformers and casings, provided you bargain a 'lil bit.

This is NOT NIXIE! It's the shop in between MAPLIN and NIXIE, more towards MAPLIN. I shown you the shop earlier..

Ahhh.. now you're 'cookin'
BTW, It's not across the chinese school, further up towards JP. Nearer to the T-Junction.
Heyy, where got leng lui there!

Ooops, too much OT.. sorry guys

Good question mm, I am wondering the same thing too!

'ganaz' because of the torroid kot..
wonder how much is it?

Gabanyayaya,
Like Y.C. mentioned. Its a common part. Should be able to get it from some other shops.
BTW the electrical/electronic repair shop is further down that road.. Not many electronic shops along that road actually and thats the one we're talking about!

ekool,
looking good! that includes the now infamous Y.C. caps!

PcWork,
Even playing at high volumes, when I touched my T-Amp chip, it is just warm to the touch, ie no 'burning' sensation.. Something 'wrong' on your amp?

PcWork,
I am supplying my T-Amp with 13.6VDC. It doesn't get 'hot', infact the bass got 'tighter'..

I saw an aluminium casing similar to one bought by Y.C. at NIXIE.
Saw it being displayed having a price tag of RM46.XX which I think is not a bad pricing. I do not know if they have it in stock or not as some of the nicer casing being displayed.. especially those slim ones are 'out of stock'..
The ones that they usually have are usually the plain vanilla type, which is kinda pathetic to me..
Honestly, DIY casing choices in JP are terribly limited..

biamp so far onhold. current single stereo is giving me much pleasure that I decide to enjoy the music first until there are urges for an 'upgrade'..
Oh, as far as sounds are concerned, I have not tried with my T-Amp but have tried that with my previous amp, there are some improvements.. nothing to shout at or day and night difference, still I can live without biamping for awhile.. I just need to finish my buffer pre-amp first before biamping..

xtorm,
hey are you sure 13.8? Ok, will adjust my SMPS to 13.8, just a 0.2V from current voltage and see if there are 'some improvements'..

Please refer to postings by metalmania, the one with the map on the subject of locating a shop that Y.C. got his speakers binding post/sockets.
If you can find Pudu Plaza, NIXIE is just across the streen from the main entrance!

Hey! will you be so busy again for this weekend's TT Session?

gabanyayaya,
I think the day, time and venue remains the same.. unless the are changes by our host, Y.C...

wui,
you're using 78xx regulators now?

Y.C.,
Morning!
Yep it's RE Spares! And my guess was right! (4-5 shops away from Maplin)

I am voting for same time/venue and obviously the same kind hearted host!
Eventhough I have something on in the morning, I am confident that I can make it at the anticipated time..
Any new attendees than the previous list?

Y.C.,
It takes one to know one! ehem!

I might be bringing a friend also a forumer here. He is also a T-Amp user but the DIY amp was made and given by his friend. He might be bringing his other gear(which I have forgotten what ) just to share with us..
Definitely looking forward to this saturday..

Y.C.,
Thanks for the pics albeit out of focus
The green coloured Vishay's looks good eh Will have a closer look this saturday. Can't wait to listen to it also!
I hope there are no changes to the schedule..?
