Good alternative to the SI T-Amp?

steve71 · 27th December 2007, 05:10 PM

I need a low power amp to drive my Altec 288 8K compression drivers (105db/w/m) from 400hz on up.

Seems like you can't get a T-amp for $25 in the US anymore. So I've been looking for alternatives to give me a idea if I like the sound. However I don't want to mess around with soldering together a kit at this stage, rather I'm looking for a pre-assembled board.

I already have a 3A regulated 12v power supply, so I'm thinking something like this (see link) would be ideal. The down side is this shop isn't in the USA and might take up to a month to arrive.

Anyone have experience with this amp? Also if anyone has any alternative suggestions up to $40, that would be great.

Oppps

I've been reading up kits here for the last 2 days.... Don't know how I missed that. I know how annoying redundant topics are.

Thanks pointing out that thread

No worries, just be sure to show us all how your amplifier project turns out. The sureelectronics amp looks like a very good value, but you'll still want to do some soldering on it to make it better.
