Jazzy, the Indeed valve buffer amp does not ship to Malaysia. Too bad.

"We will ship worldwide EXCEPT Nigeria, Italy, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Macau"

xtorm, when is the latest shipment going to come in? My hands are getting real itchy.

BTW, should I get a new soldering iron or should I just 'revive' my 15 year old Antex?
What type of solder do you use? Audiophile grade solder (if there's such a thing) that makes the sound more 'definitive'? brows.gif
Where do you get the SMPS?

Ah.. smashing!!! Next Monday eh? I hope to get it all done before Raya.
I did a quick browse thru the RS catalogue. Those smps are expensive! I hope JP does have a cheaper alternative.

Thank you xtorm, It's the best-est news of the day indeed! I've done the necessary financial transaction, and I'm looking forward to receiving them soon.

arrgghh... I should've known that most shops in Jalan Pasar are close on Sunday. I didn't manage to get all the ingredients to cook my amp. Nevertheless, I succeed in bringing back a 12V SMPS. It looks very much like Jazzy's. Is it the same?

Question : When you use the T-amp to bi-amp the speakers, do you split the input into two - one for each amp? And do you employ 2 SMPSs?

Hey guys, my T-amps are still hibernating. Still haven't got the time to get the required components to get them work. Will do so this weekend. Anybody got a spare pre-amp? Metalmania? brows.gif

why do you need a spare pre-amp?
I 'may' have one... wink.gif

My T-amp can't sing without one.

Use a passive pre (volume pot only) if you all want to test out the actual potential. An active preamp will only color up the sound to some extent and not reveal its true potential (after whatever mods you all may have done).
I'll let you all know if I can make it. Thank you for your kind invitation.

10-4. Yes, I was thinking to use just a volume pot for the passive pre-amp (very similar to what Metalmania built). *sigh* it will take me another month or so till my T-amp can really come to life.
