There is a higher current version of 7812, try search for 78S12, can supply up to 2A but double the price.

xtorm, nice mooncake box. My 2020 is kept in cold storage already, 2024 is still my choice, that little thing really kick arse.

Jazzy, I can smell something Big is coming with that scope. Can share with us?

I will stay tuned.

Old thing doesn't go, new thing wouldn't come.

You can try change the input cap to smaller one like 2.2uf, it should reduce the pop. If you really mind about the sound quality, change it to a better quality cap like MKP or PIO.......

How much is this new toy xtorm?

You are try with larger value power input cap, I am using 1000uf.

Your active speaker got build in amplifier, if you connect the t-amp to it, it might burn.

Yup. Not recommend.

I have tried: SMPS, regulated power supply and now shunt regulator. Shunt regulator is my choice, it is in my main system now.
By the way I am using TA2024.

For me there is differences. Overall the arrangement is like this ; smps<regulated<shunt in my own preference.

When ever you get power supply for it, get the highest power you can buy. The t-amp really loved the extra headroom, especially when the bass kick in.
