Exactly! I bought parts to build my GC but was put onhold due to the power supply issues. Darn expensive that darn toroidal transformers!
In the end, I gotta build the T-Amp Cheaper and faster

Still I would want to complete building the GC and see how it would fare to the T-Amp..

haha yea...very cheap solution

well from review mostly mention slightly wider soundstage and thicker sounding, which i think it is why it sounded natural.

duno if the balance thingy have the same effect...

I was wondering the same too!

How expensive can it be when for that size it delivers the huge output power compared to E-core?.
When doing DIY projects, one is not suggested to stinge too much or much will be compromised. I always advise DIY wannabe's.. Be prepared with a 30-50% overbudget for contigency...otherwise DON'T!..

Yes.. those wise words!
Will consider that in future..
Thanks for the advise bsl!

poor malaysian diyers...have to bare hi cost for such a cheap parts due to our week currency.....

yes... poor us...
Sg fellas got better choices than us here... shucks!

jazzy and the rest ...... why choose metal casing.....I suggest that you guys shift to wooden box. Much more easy to handle and looks classic, not to mention wood got some WAF (wife approval factorwhat ever you called)....










We have abundance of these here...

oh charlize....!! hahaha

yes they are very nice indeed!! how much are those?

btw just tested the t-amp in my friend's car, all he can say is wow, a rm99 speaker set and a rm150 head unit, why he needs my t-amp?

cos his amplifier was stolen, an oldschool 4 channel sony, it was around 1k last time!! so sad man...

so gona build him a sleeper...hahaha, rm100 9tim with a much better sound then his rm1k amp

but 1 thing tho...his head unit is giving out alot of aeroplane noise, any filter i can use to cut tht?

gabanyayaya,
good idea but... may need getting used to! Where to get the wooden box then?

xtorm,
really ah? SQ is on thing, but enough POWER to really drive the speakers and overcome the usual noises when car is moving?

Yar lor... Its just a hobby.. we take it one day at a time.. sometimes may takes longer than that!

goto almost max the head unit for really loud listening, which is kinda unbearable, max volume 63, we on till 60 tak boleh tahan the ear ...but his cd player is low end type, so output voltage so so only, andthis wasnt active setup, just plain component speaker with crossover, he is definitely edicted! but goto solve the aeroplane sound issue....
i think pretty much t-amp limit, ngam ngam

i got a damn noisy car too, was into performance last time but its still loud enough...

xtorm,
if the 'aeroplane' sound is coming even while the headunit is on car battery, then sad to say nothing much you can do except changing the headunit!
Nothing much either if the car sound proofing is also not so good.. but this you can do something about it..

if i off then engine ofcos there is no aeroplane sound, if there is then it can masuk longkang edi

this thread is edi getting quiet...hmmmm...

Aha! Then it's coming from the electrical system when the engine is running.. many things could contribute to this, from alternator to distributor..
do you intend to rectify this yourself or take to wireman or car audio equipment installers?

too quiet ler.. nothing to contribute? Y.C. and ongbs must be fully occupied with work.. and Y.C.'s lappy probably is still full of those malware/trojans/syware and what nots..

gona search for filter to filter out those noise...

already bugging me my friend...hahaha

YEah.. there's one capacitor/filter supposed to be installed at the distributor..
I think this 'aeroplane sound' will increase proportionally with engine RPM, right?

Haven't power up? Waiting for the 'rosewood' jewellery box to arrive?.. hahahahaha

probably due to 'dirty' power source

will try to sot things out, but it didnt happen last time with the sony amp, thye probably have lots of filtering work in it...

That’s why it costs a thousand bucks!!!

haha yea...

not to mention those power suppl part, rm1k sounding less then a rm100 unit...wow

hmm having some problem with my setup, after testing in my friend car, seem like the highs are being roll off...or my ears got problem. hmmm

This is an interesting development..
Could be your ears..too much of the good stuffs! hahahaha

Damn! You took the #939 posting!
