was controlling volume with my laptop volume, so the volume on tube pre is arnd 11o'clock, the pop sound is quite bad when i pull it out.

last time with a passive pre no issues, with this pre, it got muted few times edi, but this time wont turn back on even after off on

sad case......

install 1 ta2024 for tweeter and 1 ta2020 for mid in my car

no aeroplane sound, a big suppressor did the job well!

with a high volt pre-out from the head unit, the mid is shaking my car floor.... rclxm9.gif haha
it a 8ohm speaker some more, the mission M3, but burn 1 of it cos wasnt carefull again....sight.....bought another pair cos coudnt find mission M3, hopefully this pair just as good else better sounding

car is ready for demo if any 1 interested biggrin.gif

hi will do so later this weekend, as of now, pretty much amaze by the sound of it biggrin.gif

ground issues, since this amp is fairly simple in design, it doesnt involve alot of filter and so on, that is 1 of the reason why it sound fast and accurate

anyway a simple suppressor at 12v take care of the problem.

hmmm will be putting my build in ice forum mayb biggrin.gif

yea the pop sound is a little heavy on this model, due to its 10uf input

anyway nice casing and for this model, i think at stock its edi pretty good, the layer is better

You can try change the input cap to smaller one like 2.2uf, it should reduce the pop. If you really mind about the sound quality, change it to a better quality cap like MKP or PIO.......

How much is this new toy xtorm?
*
cheap, rm70 haha sounded better then the old 1, even mine with good input cap and some cap change on the board

umm... you guys noticed that 'Tripath' is bankrupt since 2007 because they were too expensive?

now these kits are real cheap... don't you notice?
*
yep we all know its not around anymore, what a shame, but they sound good even its cheap now, mayb its an imitation but if its exactly the same i dont care...haha
