one more thing, does the ouput ground of the meanwell smps connected to the main earth and chassis? as i am considering another application that output +24vdc 0v -24vdc by using 2 smps module. thx in adv

bsl555, nice... thanks

milen, why do you need 2xSMPS(12V), when you can get a 24V SMPS?

jazzy939, i need +24v 0v -24v for gc. just wanna play around. if the meanwell smps cant disconnect the output ground from the earth input, the 2 smps cant be joined to get the negative voltage. i am planning to get 2 smps with 24 v for GC (which still in consideration) and 1 smps with 12v for t-amp.

any experience with the "Reyed" smps? only cost half of the main well..

Meanwell have dual output SMPS to cater for this, although I do not know how much it's gonna cost!

I have not seen/used 'REYED' SMPS.. have not seen it locally anyway. Half price? Really?

http://cgi.ebay.com/12V-DC-4-2A-Regulated-...oQQcmdZViewItem

meanwell $33

reyed $17

all include shipping. how much do you pay for the meanwell in ringgit?

RM55 for 12V 4.2A model

So many types of SMPS can be found at Pasar Rd shops at affordable prices. Just a matter whether reliable or not. SMPS or any switch mode PSU are most prone to breakdown compared to traditional tranny types. Like your PC PSU lah.. all switching PSU's.

Yes, its within Kuala Lumpur.

Hi guys, I'm wonder how well the TA2024 to drive average sensitivity speaker (86 - 90db) in a typical condominium living room? Thanks

I'd say the T-Amp will drive it effortlessly.

resounding YES!! i had doubt before as well, but was shock when i connect them to the speaker. superb. my speaker diy.. rated 83db. but it sound louder than my spendor s3/5 which is rated at 83db as well.

My TDL's RTL3 is rated at 90dB/W/m. With T-Amp connected I wonder why some people need 100W/channel or even more to play music?

just modified my T-amp for some experiments..
currently power up my T-amp with a 12V 100mah adapter.. and it sounds good =P with total of more than 30K uf power reservior tank for each channel and some modification at signal path.

100mA?
Are you serious?

hahah i mention to him many times it is not enough if you need a 1-amp adapter let me know bro, it is only as big as the regular adapter, rm2x if i remember correctly. im sure it will improve things as t-amp depends alot on the supply too

but im grad u mooded it and like it

the input cap must go, jalan pasar rm2 3.3uf is better then it, well tht shows how "good" china stuff are, so i dont really fancy those "enlarge" board with so call hifi grade caps in it selling in china, rather get it done here with stuff from farnell or RS.

100 mah is enough leh
hehehe
wanna come and listen?
but bigger ampere make it sing louder only.

If 100mA works for you, heyy what the heck! Play on!

Anybody noticed that Nixie has an `integrated' TA2024 with tube buffer preamp CBU on display and for sale? Price: RM1,5XX.00

Yep! It was there before end of last year. They actually have a 'demo' unit. What do you think of the price?
It came with a toroid, and the toroid alone costs RM300!
