QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Sep 1 2008, 08:20 PM) To those who are making their own casings (don't we all here?) mine still the same Where do you install the power switch if it's in front? I was looking at my hifi and believe it or not, ALL of the power switches are located on the LEFT! As such, the power indicator is normally located at/near the power switch too. Wonder why is such a convention?  My casing for the T-Amp does not have a power switch. The 3 pin socket is the switch! Hehehe  In the absence of a power switch, where would the power indicator located? I have seen equipments normally power amps as they have NO or just one master switch, the switch and power indicator can be, well.. anywhere! No convention here..  The reason for this posting is, the front panel of my amp is too clean. Too clean as in NOTHING! It just sits there, quietly producing great sweet music without a hint (visually)that it's 'operating'.. Based on ongbs input, I have decided to choose a WHITE LED (small 3 mm in size) as the indicator.. now, its location..location..location Just want your opinions based on your housing. Can we have the pix of your casing too?  Y.C., balik kampung ka?  power switch at the back, nothing at the front yea Y.C. i think having a holiday didnt see him post |

hahaha.. I don't blame you!
Best 'bass' yet from these caps.. Elsewhere in another thread, I downloaded some music for testing sub-woofers.. I was mazed,  the T-Amp handled it very well! I was teribbly impressed.

I may also employ the 2.2uF, saw the EPCOS one from rsmalaysia for only about 9 bucks each!
The current 2.0uF(1uF+1uF) that I use is a bit 'grainy'... Yes, most aluminium casings are really good looking.. it's the price that's gonna 'kill' you... If you surf the gainclone webring, there's even more nice ones!

Ohreally? Yes. Must be the same place.
The bulk is for what item? any links? It's definite BIG if you're dealing with small items like headphone amps and the like.. But the finish is first class. worth every buck or rather bahts i paid for it. QUOTE(ijan @ Sep 1 2008, 11:02 PM) Tought so.

xtorm,
I think it's worth the money.. Yep.. will definitely change to better cables.. BTW, those are not RS-485 cables. They are normal electrical 15A cables. I bought them in rolls from JP. Sato mic cable? Where to get? Once everyone have completed their T-Amp casing, you think this thread will close/'die'?

We can make this goes on and on and on.. yes?
There's always 'new things' that can be added.. BTW, Since using the 10uF input caps, I am experiencing a speaker 'thump' when powering the T-Amp.. Notreally that loud but sonically unconfortable.. I may install a speaker delay board, hence the space reserved in my casing.. No thumping experienced on the other board with 2uF input caps.. QUOTE(ongbs @ Sep 2 2008, 09:59 AM) too early to tell that bro...all depend on us |
