You got that right Lil'Ghost.. it seems easier

how do get this professionally done ? any compnay in malaysia doing some quantities like 20 pcs?

I vaguely remembers someone said there is... but NOT for the 'local' market... hence the absence from local scene...

any 1 build class d amplifier b4? class d is efficiency tat class ab, but its less THD tat class ab?

There's a T-Amp thread somewhere... have a look

just wonder what happen to the empy B22 amp. is it burning with musics now.. hope the bush fire does not cause any to musics.

regarding the pcbs......my supervisor contracts this company ni Kampar or somewhere in Perak.

the minimum order i head is 700 bucks though

Got the rest of the parts a few days ago, but then went down to Sydney and Canberra to jumpa kawan, lol 1200 km drive.

Just got back. Will start when i'm feelin hardworkin.

Not sure this is the right place to post this question, but I'm looking to buy some soldering gear.

Question:
How much do the Hakko Presto 20-130W soldering gun cost in Malaysia?

I have seen on these pages going for around RM75-85 yet the shops are asking for around RM50.
Which is the correct price?

I also read there are fakes going around?
How does one not get cheated?

Thanks in advance.

I got mine for RM58 from a RM65 displayed price tag.

There are look alikes but with a different name and much lower price tags..

Thanks jazzy,

It's not the ones with different names and prices that worry me, it's the one with the same name and same price but isn't.

Can I get replacement heater elements for the Presto?

Howsabout Antex irons?
Are the replacement tips easily found here?

Still skint

Im waiting for a pcb dac from hohodiy
and its psu pcb...

frm LG info..looks like a sulzer based


got some stuff to use.

oscon caps
vishay dale resistor

Not at all.
I know the feeling. Buy from 'reputable' outlets like the Pro's Kit shop and MAPLIN from Jalan Pasar.

Given the choice, the Antex will last you a long time! I had an Antex once when I was in the early stage of my hobby.
Honestly I have not seen any replacement heater elements.. maybe the shop have it, a matter of asking I guess..

I have seen tips for the Antex though...

I got my C2240, k170 plus a host of other transistor from Maplin. I was surprise to get those component from Maplin. However they dont really have the 556B.

Maplin also have Bennic. Wonder if it is the real stuff or not ?

How much would the Bennic costs over the 'normal' JP stuffs?
This would be reflected by the price I guess.. still, can't really trust branded stuffs from JP..

I'm very wary of "fake" transistors nowadays from Pasar Rd. Already there's fake caps. It does take some experience to identify them and hints can be googled. Fake power transistors on the output and fry your loudspeakers. Just be careful.
A very recent visit to Pasar Rd and I was taken aback to see many Hakko tools have increased in price. I think Proskit (supposed to be budget tools) have also seen price increase to somewhat rediculous levels. Something is very wrong going on...especially at this time when everyone harping on economy no good.

Hakko and Proskit price increased? man, that is BAD news!

quite true. a lot of items on partsconnexion are on sales. fake transistors burn the speakers, I guess not on mine.

------------------

Finally I got the transimpedance circuit going. Time to see virtual ground in action. hope against hope.

the real bennic cap being use by B&W in their Naulitus range.....still people consider bennic is the most entry level poly caps from all audiophile brands available....i let this to each individual to evaluate. but i'm also puzzled and keen to know whether it is the real or fake....???


last time a friend showed to me how a fake JP Rubycon capacitor look like...and it just as same as the real one except the size is much much more small and it says...."Rukycon"
