Kww, I'm fine but the same could not be said of our country's economy which is going to hit many of us soon. Don't worry too much on the warming up phenomenon if you can’t really tell as ignorance is bliss. I'm not able to zoom down the probable culprit(s) to your speakers' hiss if it's indeed caused by your T-amp. I believe it doesn't disturb your listening and DVD watching sessions.

Dylan, Your list of questions is long. Yes, do research before some further forum discussions. The NOS Sansui CD-X310 cdp at RM300 is excellent value.

kww,

not sure what cap. maybe need to open then only know  smile.gif

overall, i am quite satisfy. nvrmind let me fully run in for 100hours first. then see how it goes.
yc,

ur opinion restore my faith, so no need to to adjust telinga  tongue.gif

btw i used sansui cdp also
to mod? i need to start to learn some eletronic & electrical basic first  tongue.gif

T-Amp sifus,

me totally zero in diy & mod stuff, so bear with me on stoopid q's  blush.gif

a) how does this t-amp work?

b) what is cap & function

c) what is resistor & function

d) things & skills needed to start diy ? sound really stoopid doesnt it  blush.gif

ok will start to do some reseacrh on net too.
*
the cap im using is Y.C. hahahaha, the value for money mention by jazzy939 on the last thread. but its 3.3uf instead, just a little bit more bass and slightly tame highs
other then tht i didnt change anything else

if you are not into diy, i think the current setting is good enough for now.

Its many times better build than those sub RM200 play everything n anything DVD player.
It crossed my mind to acquire one for general use without being fussy or particular about any of its sonic deficiencies if any. smile.gif

Hi guys, heard that if adding preamp to T-Amp will help increase the "pushing" power of T-Amp? My friend got a piece of TA2024 based t-amp, just that he found not enough juice for his speaker, so I'm helping him to ask for advice here biggrin.gif

The T-Amp on it's own is a power amplifier. A simple pot will work as a 'preamp' to a certain extend. March05 is having a 'simplistic preamp' that merely consists of a pot in a housing with the necessary sockets tongue.gif
I have tried using a commercial pre-amp with it and also DIY preamps. Again, depending on your system configuration and your listening needs.. You have to find one that can satisfy your listening pleasure. I ended up with a buffer preamp (DIY) that really balanced the sounds rather well. wink.gif

cRazYee, it's unusual that you cannot achieve high volume using the audio output from your Mcbook directly to your Aego m. Are you sure your software volume controls are not set too low?

The internal sound card of your Mcbook consists of a DAC plus a preamp (a very low powered amplifier which boost the signal to a level which is acceptable to a `power' amplifier).  The audio out socket of the Mcbook is linked to the preamp.

If you are interested in getting better sound quality.....use an external DAC (AKA external sound card). Sorry, this thread does not deal with that particular component of the sound system.

Yes, you are right...the T-amp is like an ordinary amplifier. It is usually positioned between the pre-amp and passive speakers.

so getting a t-amp put in better my com and aego m doesn't help right?

You said it. biggrin.gif Not unless you want to hear a fair bit of added distortion, and risk creaming the Aego m's built in amp and maybe the drivers as well.

That's a nice complete TA2024 and good price too. You're thinking of bringing it in?

US$31 is not the "Buy Now Price" but rather the highest bidding price recorded.

nothing to worry about customs actually....i've been receiving so many packages and parcels from China before without any problem.....just ask the chinese supplier declare you stuff as gift and you're ok....chinese people are so good in doing business unless if the package is in extra heavy duty......the local customs might gets itchy to explore inside the box...

around rm200, and each bulk i can only take 3 of it bcos of the weight

anyway i might take ta2020 normal and 1 ta2020 deluxe mix for the 1st bulk

due to some issue im having financial problem now, so ill try to do it as soon as im stable.

deluxe have this extra
- Overload indication LED

- Power indication LED

- Relay power indication LED

- Much more space for capacitors, and standard audio grade 400V 2.2uF caps included.

- Delayed power on to eliminate the “pop” effect and for speaker protection

- Fully shielded output inductors

- Volume control on-board

- DC offset adjustment with high precision trimmers
