toda,
That local supplier stuffs looks okay to me. Are you buying any of those?
I have the old T-Amp unit to be upgraded, so no worries on my side!

nope...i like it but.... still not for me...

im making T-amp case from a metal cookie box, hehe

toda,
creative thinking, I like it!
I picked up a drawer about 2 days ago... not for the T-Amp, but for another project.
Since the new T-Amp is coming, I am using back the TA-2024 in my main system since 3 days ago. Damn, it still sound amazing and superb for a 10 watter! We'll see how the TA-2020 MkIII performs soon...

anybody knows if the ta2020 is strong enuff to power FS speakers?

power handling: 15 - 150 watts
sensitivity: 89db
resistance: 4- 8ohms

pls help n advise, thks!

toda,
At 89db/m the T-Amp should be able to drive the speakers.
You should have seen my speakers(also 89dB/m) and how easy my T-Amp is driving it

but then many reviews suspected that the speakers has lower sensitivity than published figures... because it wants more power

anyway, I can use preamp or power amp connect to Tamp to boost power to speakers right?

I would not worry too much unless you have a very low eff. speakers!
The T-Amp itself is a power amp.. the use of a pre-amp will boost voltage gain for the appropriate playing levels.
Power amp? Thats a no no.

Here's an interesting review on HLLY's TA-2020 with comparison to the TA-2024 for those who are (still)curious on what the TA-2020 has got to offer.

okok

got it now...

btw, i hav an old sony vcd player not used anymore....mayb i can cannibalize the power supply? hmmm...

The player might be using an SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) which is okay with the T-Amp.
As long as you can get at least 12VDC, preferably 14VDC and no less than 2 amps.. then it should serve the TA-2020 well.

I got my TA2020 singing now. million thanks to Xtorm

initial impression: not much different compared to my TA2024, not day and night difference.

If running 80% volume, it will clip at some music passages.
It might due to my power supply,using the same EI tranny setup as in my TA2024 (swap the amp circuit only)

Give it run in for sometime and 'see' how it goes.

Auuwww not fair! I've already paid for mine and it's not even out for postage..

lol
xtorm said sorry also when i asked about ur case..try call him see
i think he will post out tmr la
dont worry be happy yoohoo..

chchyong,
How was it?

no idea lol, i don't have "golden ears" to test.

btw, the only i can notice is, it can goes LOUD!

Good to know that it 'sings'

luckily, i got both FM and FC 470uf in my pocket

Where on the T-Amp did you use those caps? Not in your pocket, I hope!

Hmm! Know nothing about this. What things would T-amp pair with normally? PC?

Basically its a power amp. Whatever your source is. PC audio out can be one of them. If you have a good SC, why not!
