The T-AMp Project. Bi-Amping

After so many years in HiFi world,I will be taking the path to bi-amping. I made such a decision as the project made it 'affordable' and I have a pair of a very good quality speaker cables in hand. BTW, bi-amping is having separate amplifiers to drive (separately), the woofers and tweeters.. Major improvements to the final audio quality.. Let's hope so! Hehe..

Shown here is the back panel of my T-Amp casing, clearly showing the 8 speaker binding posts!

The normal red/black will be configured to drive the woofers, while the green/blue ones will be connected to the tweeters.

The T-Amp Project. New skills.

In the quests of fine tuning the T-Amp, I managed to DIY a toroid inductors to replace the existing inductors.. I use a 'ferrite ring'. The final ultimate inductor would be the air core type which I will be working next. Here's the coil in action!

New amp in the making: TA2024, T-Amp

Pictures updates:

An almost completed D'T-Amp.
Supposed to be bi-amp capable but don't have enough hardwares to install the second board.
Now a 'normal' stereo power amplifier driven by the superb Yamaha 'pre-amp' :D

Enjoy...

New found technology: Tripath T-Amp, TA2024

May be slightly late but I stumbled the above while surfing the trade sections of LYN. Someone wanted to sell a brand new Sonic Impact's T-Amp for roughly RM300 ( I think). Further googling and surfing a Lowyatter selling a T-Amp boardfor a mere RM55.. I ordered two..

Currently in the upgrade/mod/burn in session.. The recommended 100 hrs is a long way to go...

Will update this with some pix soon...

Whaddaya know!

It has been a while.. ;)
Just wanna brag about my phono cartridge!
I bought it, the Ortofon OM10 Super based on the seller recommendation, as a replacement for my AT30e. It costs me about GBP30 5-6 years ago.(I was in London at that time ;) )
Today accidentally I found a review on that particular cartridge! And guess what, the reviewer is also using the same turntable as mine! What are the chances? :D

In summary:

Product Rating:

Pros: Superb performance in almost any tonearm! Easy to see bullet type body/stylus! Best separation!

Great investment that one!

TT upgrade update

Whew! Finally, I'd consider it completed! Only cosmetic touch up to be done.
Basically the plinth has been reinforced, the OEM signal cable has been replaced with a pair of output RCA sockets for which I can properly use an 'audio quality' RCA cable to connect to the amp(phono) input.
Whats left? Isolation 'feet' to be installed. Couldn't decide to use rubber or metallic cone.. will have to do some serious auditioning at night if there would be any differences at all!
Last night initial listening I do detect a more solid imaging to the sound stage.. how much does this 'mod' cost me? Few ringgit! The only costly thing that I bought to complete the work is a portable/battery operated multispeed drill..
Now that my TT is given a new 'life' I am itching to build a phono(RIAA) preamp. A module that would complement the D'Bomb or the Det'nator...
Sorry folks no pics at this point of time, will update later. Now can concentrate on the Det'nator (GBY's) and D'Phone (MDZ's) hehehe..
Have a great weekend guys! I know I would.. ;)

Minor Project -TT upgrade update..

Have almost completed the plinth 'cosmetic job' after acquiring a specialised glue made for jointing wood. Found out the SELLEY's one is 50% much more expensive that another brand that I got (from Jalan Pasar). No nails/screw was required. After the 'glue' cured, it was as solid as nailed job!

One last bit to do is to replace the output cable. Plan to install a set of RCA sockets so that I can use an audio grade RCA signal cable to feed a good 'phono preamp"<--- this one coming up next, after finishing/completing a long queue of other stuffs to complete. One of them is GBY's Det'nator, then MDZ's jurassic phone. Hahahaha.

Next update with pictures....
