mike stehr Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 This solves the 1/4" jack issue, and DC power supply. I do need to source some better binding posts... Tom, "I also noticed that the AC/DC adapter posted on this thread for this is rated at 1500 ma is this sufficient?" The chip is good up to 13.2 or .4 volts. I'm using a 1300 ma supply, it's sufficient. Though I would think the more current the better. Just make sure it's regulated, or it will make noise.

D0N Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 $39 t-max amplifier getting the audiophiles all excited... that's funny! I can see it now... all these audiophiles tip-toeing out and buying one, slinking back home, putting in 8 AA batteries and connecting the amp to their system.... only to realize it is sonically indistinguishable from their $3000 mono blocks. No audiophile worth his salt would dare be caught with one of these in their home ...no matter how good it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Rats, I went to my local Target, no amps. one of high school kids working the electronics counter claimed to have seen then at one point, but had no idea of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Tom, I think Target is moving most of them through their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Duuuhhhh, it says right on the Target page linked to that it's web only. I don't want those speakers they're cleverly bundling to jack the price up to $50. Went to the PC Mall link, they're OOS, but called and ordered some anyway. The guy told me they've got 411 back-ordered on a load of 470 coming in on the 14th. $19.99 plus $2 and change shipping. Guy wanted to know what is the deal on those, they're getting an outrageous amount of calls on them. I didn't feel compelled somehow to explain it to him, just said they're popular with Ipod users.

But I here they sound surprisingly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 "The supplied cardboard speakers are "giant killers" also!" I haven't even tried mine, I wonder how'd they'd fare with a 2A3 SET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbuck Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 ---------------- How about partsxpress? ---------------- Greetings, I ordered one last week from PartsExpress. It's on back-order. I guess patience is a virtue ... and for the itsy-bitsy price these things are going for, I'm willing to be a little virtuous! Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbuck Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Greetings, The SonicImpact t-amp just arrived from PartsExpress. Only a few weeks' wait, which ain't bad... My initial impression of the sound is that it's quite good -- and *remarkable* for the price. A little on the weak side driving my kg-4's (but at 94dB sentitivity and 6-ohm impedance, these are relatively difficult speakers to drive for Klipsch). Is it gonna make me sell my Audio Note SET? No way ... single-ended toobs have magic in 'em that I doubt will ever be matched. Still, there's a clarity and a sense of rhythm to the t-amp that really makes me shake my head in disbelief. And since the t-amp/power supply cost maybe 1/50th of my SET, I think that's *really* impressive! Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro (who owned the lil' 6BQ5 Maggie) ordered his SI through procura.com (it's arriving next week), and noticed your new enclosure lacks the volume control; you using a pre for your setup? How much would you charge to build another metal enclosure similar to yours? Several weeks ago he also won an eBay auction ($165 BIN) for a NIB discontinued 2003 model Panasonic SA-XR10 digital AV receiver with onboard Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II 5.1 surround decoding, and 100 WPC via its Texas Instruments chip. Aesthetically it's georgous with its sleek, contemporary design and tasteful use of polished chrome, and it sounds every bit as good as what others here are saying about these latest digital amps from SI, Teac, Yamaha, etc. He's had it a week now and according to him it's opened up tremendously, even though right out of the box it blew away his latest transistorized Yamaha RX-V640 6.1 AV receiver (with its more updated DTS ES Discrete 6.1, Neo 6, DTS ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, et al...the Yamaha's on eBay now).
