Sure Electronics New Tripath Board tc2000+tp2050

[riktw]

DAMN i like that kit, extreme power and so small
anyone experience with that cheap *** hong kong post company, thats 23 dollar to the netherlands and TNT and UPS are more than 20 dollars?

and there is thermal glue, i got some for 3 euro from a dutch computer store.

Can (2) 14V 3A power supplies be used together on this board? (Ex. 2x LCD power adapters). Would this effectively produce 28V @ 3A?

Also, would 3A be sufficient if used with 8Ohm speakers?

Sure-electronics offer the board on the bay, e.g. like item no. 230345575360, complete with shipping.
Mine is still under way but I have bought their TA2024 board before.
Back then the first shipment got lost, but they sent a second one immediately when I told them that the first didn't come through.

It would be sufficient but you won't be able to kick it very very loud, because then the amp won't be able to drive bass correctly and the sound quality isn't good, but for normal listening is enough.

Thanks for the reply, Ale... I want to try this amp for the bottom end of an actively x'd-over 3way system (below 1K) so low end is important... ApexJr has some 24V - 0 - 24V 200MA toroids... Is this better suited?

well i ordered one, i found an 2 * 18V 13 A transformer, slightly overkill but cheaper than an new transformer.
got at least 200.000uF of capasitors.
all from an old class A amp that died(PCB in pieces)
so i hope i get mine fast, cant wait to build it.

This amp uses single power line so you need only 0-24V. With this 24V on AC you would get out on DC almost 34V and with this voltage amp would be running on the edge. I would go with 20V AC and on DC you get out a bit over 28V.

Has anyone found any solution to the heat problem?

dont have mine but if heatsink gets hot you need a bigger heatsink.
or a fan on it, but the heatsink looks like stuff thats on your north/southbridge on your PC motherboard.
i am on Internship in an computer store/repair shop so if i get my board i can try some PC coolers on it.


as you can see on this pic:

there are 2 white pins connecting the cooler, does someone know if they are pushpins becouse some old and slow graphics cards have that kind of connection pins to.
i hope there is thermal paste under the cooler, if not add it, it makes a difference
looks like the 50m watt and 100 watt version have the same heatsink btw.
would be weird, the 100 watt version generates double as much heat.

Check one page back and you'll see my bigger heatsink, but I think that there is electronical solution for this heat problem.
