Is this a real TDA1541A?

[Eldam]

Yes, I know someone who did at NYC.

I picked up 2 of them. Arrived in about 4 weeks. Then this posting came around and I decided to get a couple more just in case. It took about the same time, maybe a little less, closer to 3 weeks. I am in California.

I'd buy from them again.

Hi, has anybody from the U.S. purchased anything from ecdesigns and if so how long did it take to get to you from them?

When one person in the world has genuine TDA1541A it is John from ecdesigns...

 

[batteryman]

Took 10days to get to the UK but given the time of year, okay.

Hi Mark,

I did it, to your question. It took 2 weeks at most to receive the packet.

cheers

3 of them are crap. The one with the crown symbol is quality.

From our friends on aliexpress...

The one in the first photo is laughable. The second photo shows a better attempt, but still no cigar.

The laugh is on you as TDA1542 is real. It was a chip for post filtering the DAC outputs like most do with opamps. You rarely see it in the wild and while its brother TDA1541A has become a world famous star TDA1542 failed miserably.

TDA1542 is likely to be genuine as no one would bother to make a fake. I think this chip has a couple of NE5532s or the likes inside.

 

[erin]

Yes its the dual version of TDA1541. Didn't you know?

 

[diyralf]

Are there any recommendation from Philips how to identify original Philips parts?

Hello everybody ! I just bought a philips 880 TDA 1541A CD without S1. people said it would not be without S1. people help explain help, Thank you very much

 

[vietnamcity]

I do not understand PHILIPS 880 TDA 1541A and 1541A S1 TDA philips 880. Help me

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

 

[poynton]

Sometimes the original TDA1541A S1 has been changed by the previous owner !!

Sometimes, Philips fitted a non-S1 TDA1541A.

Don't forget that the S1 were 'hand selected' and marked. Some may be tested as S1 but not marked.
