Tripath TA3020 5 channel Amp Board

I need to make room for the next project, so up she goes...

There are extensive mods for these boards listed here and this one has NO MODS DONE - completely stock.

I am keeping the tranny at the moment.

Best offer gets her.

I have completed the Overload Resistor mod (won't shut down on a 4 ohm speaker load), and replaced the crappy 2.2uF electrolytic input caps with nice Bennic 2.2uF Polypropylene caps.

How's $80 + shipping?

Just like having 5 UCD180 amp and power supply modules...Just add your toroid...

With 60V rails, 300 wpc@ 4ohms.

The 500 - 600VA toroid that came with the unit has 5 wires - 84VCT and 7v-0 on the main plug (gets you +/-58V rails and the required 10V) and there are two smaller plugs on the toroid , only one of which is need to run the amp board - I beleive its 5v-gnd-gnd-12v. I will have to check right quick on this.

The third plug off the toroid onto the PS board powers another section - preamp or DAC? and not required to get the amp board running.

I believe the only voltages needed are main rails (+/-35V to +/-65V), a 10V and a 5V, i think they both need to be reference to main rails.

From the TA3020 datasheet (google it for full copy)
