QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Dec 30 2008, 06:38 PM) How high is 'too high'?  Actually I cannibalize a Denon and Onkyo amp yesterday and got some parts out to use. I have change one of the pot for my friend's ailling JP pot. These pot still work well and I'm confident that I wont encounter same problem as JP pot (maybe I'm in bad luck). As for the transformer, it looks big and "solid" and would be a waste to throw it away..the smoothing caps is rated 50V, so I think the transformer secondary voltage should be around 40V?? Lets see if there is any use for other future projects or just keep in store...

QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Dec 30 2008, 11:58 AM) VR as in voltage regulator? 3V is what u need depending in LED types and the brightness that u want... 3V and above for white and blue and pure greens, InGAN dice for red and amber/yellow, 2V-2.2V should be more than enuf.. or else poooofff....

QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 30 2008, 06:49 PM) if you fellas want blue and white LEDs let me know.. give you free la.. got so much in the drawers... Added on December 30, 2008, 6:56 pmcyl1000, a 40V tranny would be a good candidate to power a GainClone! This post has been edited by jazzy939: Dec 30 2008, 06:57 PM

ar188, the 3mm would be sufficient. Sure, can drop in anytime (I am on leave) as long as you bring over those LEDs!  AE bookshelves.. that would an interesting speaker to 'test'...

Can a computer PSU be used to power up the T-amp?

Ok then. I have two comp. PSU. If anybody wants to have them, let me know. I think they're rated 400 watts. Else, I'll just throw them away. Err.. they're faulty though

grandspy, the Meanwell SMPS looks better and 'cuter'  with adjustable voltage!
