Just got the T-amp from Xtorm today. Now I am listening to it playing Tsai Chin, while typing this.

First impression
Unbelievably smooth, clear and detailed coming from this little amp. The instruments and voice sounded natural and transparent. I am very impressed and like the other reviewers said - the quality is comparable wt a lot of other more expensive amps.

I was initially worried that 8 watts was not enough. But it is enough to drive my old 4ohm speakers with ease. Surprising good and defined bass coming from this amp.

No regrets here.

I'd say: Listening is believing! We are no reviewers and are not involved in the hifi trade but a bunch of audio buffs (enthusiasts) who got really excited by its sonics especially at its modest price. It may not be for everyone or beginners but for those who have been exposed to audio proper will appreciate it a lot more. What more could I say? Enjoy.

who owner of this amp live in jb or near UM?
i want go n try when i have the time

sorry to not notice ur question ealier. form a site which is selling this speaker it mention


so i guess for 4.1 it is more then enough.

as for 4.5 i think it can power it nicely since it is a fulrange speaker, ment to be use without crossover btw same word as the 4.1 from thier own site http://www.tektondesign.com/model45.htm

grad u love it what speaker is tht? high sensitivity?
let it run in for 50 hours or so to really enjoy the smothness. all the tamp i built the input cap is replace with a 3.3uf Y.C.(not to mix up with the Y.C. forumer here ) cap tht is much recomended by our sifu jazzy939


thanks man for the nice word, nice of u to drop by another sifu here, be sure to visit his blog!!!

I have several set of speakers. For the T-amp, I've paired it wt Rogers DB101. Sensitivity 92db, 4ohms. Haven't use the speaker for a while and the amp suit it.

Later I'll try it wt the Mission 780. Just to see the difference.

leeshock,
looking forward to your feedback.
thanks in advance!

Helping a friend here, he just got himself a vinyls and want to use t-amp as amplifier. He need to build a pre-amp for it to work, can anyone provide me a schematic of the pre-amp?
Thanks.

Presumably that your friend has a proper turntable setup, firstly he needs a MM (Moving Magnet) phono preamplifier! This is to initially amply the tiny voltages generated by the phono cartridge. This amplified voltage will then need to be fed to the preamplifier before the power amplifier.

phono preamp-> preamplifier -> power amplifier

Since you asked about the preamplifier, I'll assumed that your friend already has a phono preamp.

A preamplifier can be passive (no power required) or active (powered).
From simple to complex, circuits can be searched (google) to your heart content. Some are simple enough to be built by using strip or veroboard or making your own PCB.

Here are some example I got by 'googling' : simple preamplifier circuits:

Good luck!

vinyl and t-amp would be a good combination i think...

Y.C. just visited ur site, wah the speaker seems nice

Thank you xtorm. Which pair of speakers? The Pioneer pure-malts? Yes, they are splendid to my ears.

Yea..i like malt too....sensation for my taste bug too.

You meant the malt beers? Ssshhhh... we should not be discussing that here!

YC, how much is that pair cost?
By the way the hissing sound of the t-amp gone after about 4months of run in. Quite amazing that it need so much time to run-in (about 2hr per day).

kww,
I never had any problem with hissing sound from any of my T-Amps..

jazzy, mine is mixing jalan pasar components (1uF, 10kohm, 0.47uF) with the quality one, i think that is the problem. Anyway it still sound sweet.
If I got time I will do another board with quality components.

No wonder!
Oh yeah.. there's always room for improvements

OMFG .... 1 for me !

haha ok

hopefully all works out and ill be ordering the stuff end of month, probably get it at mid of may

they look really great.. i wonder how would it sound as compared to T2024? do you mean it would arrive mid of june instead of may?

It would be 'louder' for sure...
