Topping TP10 Mk3 and Topping TP20 impressons?

[Lucywy]

The specification of tp10:
T-Amp IC Tripath TA2024
Output Power 2 x 15W @ 4ohm, 2 x 10W @ 8ohm
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) 98dB
Dynamic Range 98dB
IHF-IM Distortion 0.1% @ 1W, 4ohm
THD Distortion
0.03% @ 9W, 4ohm
0.1% @ 11W 4ohm
0.1% @ 6W 8ohm
10% @ 15W 4ohm
10% @ 10W 8ohm
And the tp20 is

T-Amp IC Tripath TA2020
Output Power 2 x 23W @ 4ohm, 2 x 13W @ 8ohm
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) 99dB
Dynamic Range 99dB
IHF-IM Distortion 0.18% @ 1W, 4ohm
THD Distortion
0.03% @ 10W, 4ohm
0.1% @ 12W 4ohm
10% @ 23W 4ohm
10% @ 13W 8ohm
So,you should choose one according to your own need.I prefer to tp20 as it is stable,the chip is ta2020 which is used normal.

Thread resurrection!

My TP20 mk2 was starting to bore me with its cool, analytical sound. So I recapped it for fun, to see how far I could take it. I tried a range of Panasonic, Nichicon, and Elna electrolytics, and ended up combining Cerafine and Silmic II for a sound that is more detailed and--more importantly for me--a step closer to the full-bodiedness of a Class A/AB amp.

To my ears, Silmic has the treble shimmer and phat bass, and Cerafine has the forward midrange. On their own, I felt the colorations were wrong for this amp. BUT... Together, there is a balancing act with some serious mojo going on.

I ended up with 16v 220uF Silmic by the IC and 16V 330uF Cerafine for the main power smoothing caps (biggest that'll fit from this series, I think). I also added a very compact .22uF Kemet SMR (PPS) film bypass on each of the Cerafine power caps. I think this yields a smidgen more HF air and extra textural realism. Enjoying my amp again
