Sound of Gaincard vs. T-amp

[garbage]

From what I read somewhere, the 12v battery is actually multplied by 1.4 so the amp sees 16.8 volts? I was told by one designer that his 3875 amps sound better on 24 volts but 2) 12v SLA would certainly be easier to use.

i don't think so. actually, with load (the amp) switched on, the battery drops a little than when measured without load.

regarding the t-amp from diyparadise, i think yeo does offer them completely soldered as smt components might be an issue for some.

actually i found the t-amp very nice sounding. i did not notice problems with tonality. i tried it with a tube pre 2 nights ago, soundstage was very deep and wide. it's like being enveloped by music. simply unreal.

the lm3875 is easy enuff to wire p2p in an afternoon.

cheers
