any good t-amp idea to match Epos M16? thanks.

cheers,
wps

i have Boomtube EX, which have two TA2024 chips with 2x40w power. can join or not leh? thanks.

cheers,
wps

thanks for welcoming me to the tt...

but i don't have turntable nor phono stage, must have mistaken with someone else

i might bring along some LPs for Jazzy to record, heehee

the Boomtube EX has two bass modules and speakers. but RCA connection lah from amp to speakers like most computer speakers.

cheers,
wps

1st off, thank you YC and Lai, for being such great hosts yesterday!

the session was most enlightening, the initial Q-Acoustics sound great. the Heyrooks HB2 however exhibits its vocal prowess well when matched with Lai's T-amp. Jazzy's t-amp is the overall champ, though, with the casing having the added flexibility to tweak to the heart's content. wonder if u have bi-amp already by now.

oh yes, Jazzy, is there an adaptor to replace the RCAs in my Boomtube EX so it can connect to speaker binding posts? provided i can open the casing and switch off the Boomtube's bass modules? i can turn the bass volume down, but not sure if the internal circuirty have any filter to bypass the high and low frequency.

thanks for the upload, Jazzy.

1st off, thanks for those who drop by: Jazzy and his son; Wui, March05 and a surprise visit by BSL. the latter brought his commercial tube pre-amp (Soundstage).

here goes:

wui's t-amp is well balanced, should be best for people with varied tastes in music. the Zhaolu review i will let him do it.

bsl's tube-pre is great for vocal. when paired with wui or Jazzy t-amp can really bring out the the mellowness and sweetness of the female vocals. like most tube pre-amp, not really a rocker.

Jazzy t-amp (it is a power amp) is able to drive the M16 floorstands well. the yamaha floorstands were rather temparament and bring out its weakness of power hungry drivers.

compared with my friend's pre+po, the t-amps are cleaner sounding. one of the members mentioned this is the signature sound of T-Amp. but i would not say for sure whether i prefer this T-Amp sound over my friend's pre+po - i reckon the pre+po might be more suitable for long listening session. t-amp provide a lot of attention grabbing sound, might zap my energy or cause listening fatigue over-time.

i will let the others fill the gaps on my review.

cheers,
wps

not sure what is wireworld eclipse IC.

yes, those are tweeters, from Boomtube EX.

pack with hifi?? nah, i have seen others with more!!

cheers,
wps

wui223, let me get back to this old post...

if u r still in the hunt for a pair of DIY floorstanders, look for TJL2W by Troels Gravesen. u might get the parts from Singapore for about SGD1000 to SGD1100, minus the speaker cabinets. not sure if u can find the parts locally or not. reportedly better sounding than ProAc Response 2.5 clone. i have to stress that the real cost is to find a good carpenter to work on the cabinets. can go upwards of rm500 per pair on building the cabinets. parts+cabinets may cost more than Epos M16. check this out:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/782874/+20

the Pioneer changer i got not too long ago, dissapointed with the skipping lah. the ROCK music problem i believe should be the source CD lah - the pressing is rather old. tried the remastered led zep, no problem, at least to my ears, heehee...

i am not sure the internal of my friend's DIY pre+po amps, it's his side project he do for fun/experiment. a well balanced pair, can tame the M16 in most instances. his actual system will definitely make u think the m16+pre+po is child's play, haahaa...

cheers,
wps

wui223: i don't think u will actually be dissapointed with the sound from TJL2W - it will suit someone who has a small room. with the money u save by using t-amps, u should spend the money on a good pair of speakers.

the Boomtube EX is using battery to power the T-amps. but not sure what battery it uses lah... could not open the Boomtube EX at all, as it uses a strange set of nuts - the side it's like a semi-circle mashed with a trapezoid. and in the middle of the nut there is a hole.

bsl555: when should i return the pre-amp?? it's either tomorrow or next week after 9th nov liao. have yet to listen to it with my friend's power amp.

cheers,
wps

space constraint?? then should consider near-field monitors. try Yamaha MSP7 (supposingly the successor to NS-10) active speakers. usually on offer at 10% off from RRP of RM5600 per pair. really good speakers, transparent without losing the punch. too bad u can't use t-amp on them. if u have XLR outputs from yr PC, then even better match.

cheers,
wps

hi Jazzy,

any chance of that RCA converter to be ready when i am back from Penang? also, what screws are on the Boomtube EX, want to un-assemble it if possible. really curious how it sound on proper speakers.
