Not at all KenC
Here's some spec. which should answer your queries.

T-Amp IC Tripath TA2024

Output Power 2 x 15W @ 4ohm, 2 x 10W @ 8ohm
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) 98dB
Dynamic Range 98dB
IHF-IM Distortion 0.1% @ 1W, 4ohm
THD Distortion
0.03% @ 9W, 4ohm
0.1% @ 11W 4ohm
0.1% @ 6W 8ohm
10% @ 15W 4ohm
10% @ 10W 8ohm
Power Efficiency 81% @ 15W, 4ohm, 90% @ 10W, 8ohm
Input Sensitivity 200mV
Input Impedance 120Kohm.

Thousand thanks!

Zin 120k very high vor... why ppl ask for buffer?

Input Sensitivity 200mV, even can play turn table MC direct (almost...)

Why ah?

Because of the pot that is used at the input as a 'pre-amp'

Like it or not, either active or passive, a pot will always be there one.

TO be precise, buffer amp is for reducing the source impedance to lower then the input Z of the next stage, normal ss amps has Zin of 20K~50k, 100k, even chin chai make one tube can give output impedance lower then 100k, SS one even lower the 5k olso easy only...

A line amp is to overcome whatever sum of capacitance there is between the source and the power amp.... This one make more sense cos some ppl like to use very long interconnect...

It more convincing to build line amp, at least to tipu ourselves into comfort of dumping more money into it?

BTW, to the train and untrained eye, buffer amp and line amp, looks the same, cost the same, works the same.... mega_shok:

KenC,
Is there a way to change(modify) a buffer amp into a line amp or vice-versa?

IMHO, line amp and buffer amp are in fact the same thing. different names just to syok sendiri only

Not at all lah xtorm..

Don't know if I'm joining the gath. but I am also thinking about selling my T-Amp setup.. ada orang mau beli kah?

wah sifu setup wana sell....

ta2020 with 25w power any1 interested?

any different between ta2020 & ta2040 ?

anyone replace the inductor with better quality like air-core before?

You meant this board per pix below? What would be your SP to us?



Attached thumbnail(s)

Hehe good one Y.C.!

YO.. Bring It On.. who got sell.. how much..
if it is like the board at the pix .. i think i am pretty much itchy for it..

Oh no! not another one...I haven't even started on my TA2024 yet! Die lah like this.

Been so long bro March...still not complete...you must have been taking a loooong vacation...!!!

gabanyayaya bro....no lah, I need a loooong vacation, and some fresh motivation. So when are you hosting the next TT session?

March,
We all need a loooongggg vacation!

Next TT Session?

TT ahh....nice one...don't know la...just ask our MC...Mr.Jazzy....!!!

I guess you still have the Heybrook ...?? Just spare your self a day and just hook up some wires and psu (smps)....done ! the amp is ready to accompany the Heybrook for you to enjoy the whole day...no fuss... I think you have more motivation that you should need lah...

What MC Mr. Jazzy?
