I have another question. One month ago i have bought a charlize and yeo have recomended me a 100k pot. He said to me that he olso uses this pot.
After that i have readed all this tread, i have understood that it is better a 10k pot.
What have i do? Have i to change 100k pot?
Tnx very much for your help.
Bye

I have a switching power supply that looks exactly like the one in the photo. I didn't get it from eBay but from a local electronics store in Thailand: The only specs are: 12-16V (adjustable), 5A, with 176-264 ACV. It's from www.switching1.com. I use it with Charlize with no problems.
vt4c,
You do not allow PM to be sent to you so I am replying here.
Thank you very much for your kind offer to send an enclosure to me.
I will try to find one on my own first so that I can be more assured of a repeatable source before I ask you to go to any trouble for me. Again, thank you for your offer which I may still accept, but I have not finished looking for an enclosure on my own yet.
Best regards,
Steve

Excellent enclosures.
Hi, Steve:
After looking around for months, I finally settled on IAG chassis for my monoblocs. I ordered a set from the IAG website, but a month later I hadn't received them, so I canceled my order and ordered a set of 737Us from ATI. They arrived within two weeks, and later ATI sent me an additional set of end sub-panels for free, as I didn't need an IEC mains plug cutout.
These are really nice anodized aluminum enclosures and very easy to work with. Even given the shipping costs they're a reasonable buy. The ATI url is "http://www.atiresearch-anodized.com/". I'd recommend them, but also note that VT4C is an excellent supplier. Very responsible and reasonable prices on high quality products.

Dear all
Found it forgotten, in an obscure drawer - the Charlize amp
Bought it a long time ago, as you may think, and now I want to give it a new life, for some TL speakers, Fostex based...
I wish to have an preamp in front of it, for 3 sources CD/tuner/AUX, but reading all 28 pages of the thread I'm still unable to understand what's the Charlize input impedance - as I want to match it with some 6n1P, cathode follower, tube preamp
I know the last reply was in 2007 but maybe....someone can enlighten me on this matter?
Many thanks!

Hi Andrewbee
It was the first place to look. Unfortunately beside the fact that they recommend a 50k pot "You can wire the input to a volume pot of 50kohm to make it an integrated amp or just plain RCA sockets." and some obscure info, somewhere in the deep web, stating around 10K as input impedance, nothing more...
And more is my understanding that the input impedance is related/given by the components used in the input stage. Hence the question
all the best

I think I used a 10K pot in mine. I can check later. It is a fantastic amp. I use mine as a reference. Mine has the airfare inductors. I also have a 41Hz amp (6)? The one with the same 2020 Tripath chip and it too sounds really good. I think there is something special with the 2020 Tripath.
The Charlize2 was my main amplifier for about 5 years. I just looked up my old notes, and I was told by the Yeo, the amp's designer, that the input impedance is 20k.
I just Googled "TA2020 input impedance" and I see a reference to the Amptastic having an input impedance of 22k -

So 20k sounds right.
