SOAP - Simple OpAmp Pre

The almost complete kit. Observe that the tranny is bought from NIXIE! RM35 for a 15-0-15 tranny. Not bad.

Finally! Getting -15V after having difficulty with the trimmer. Whew!

Pix above shows before I start my 'magic' touch... hehe

A friend drop by to help him finish up his project.

Basically I need to connect the transformer to the board and adjust the trimmer on the voltage regulator to get 15V. He dare not do it in fear of exploding caps! Hehehe..

Had trouble adjusting the LH trimmer.. desolder it and install it back to the board, still unable to trim. Decided to put it slight pressure to the screw and VOILA! It works... Mind you this is NOT JP stuffs! Bought from FARNELL mind you!

He plans to use it with his GainClone amp that is i n progress..

Here are some pics...

2009 UPDATE!

Happy New Year 2009! :D
It is not too late I hope as It's still january!
Yeah I know.. I have been busy and not updating the blog as frequent and as much as I want to..
excuses, excuses.. hehehe..

Anyway,the T-Amp has been completed and I have moved on to other projects..
An STK hybrid amp, VSPS project and GainClone. Only the GainClone is yet to be completed.. waiting for some parts and time to finish it proper but I am taking my sweet time as I am currently enjoying the STK amp, with my newly completed VSPS phono preamp and my Technics SL-5 with a spanking new stylus that I bought from Singapore. LP/vinyl playing is much much more satisfying than CDs... Ooops I also did make a CD transport from a CDROM mechanism.. ;) More on this later..

Have fun guys! I know I am! :D
