I would like to know if there is a way to build my T-amp myself.
because it's hard to find in France and seems to become harder every day and I don't want to buy the Super T-amp now.
does it exist some close projet I can build-up myself ?
tanks a lot

I just bought 3 units from thinkgeek.com, they serve international customers, shipping to Japan took just a few days in my case, so if you are really after a t-amp ordering from them is an option.
I also recommend the AMP6 kit .
Altough I have not yet listened one or started building mine (it should arrive any minute🙂 ) the kit shouldn't be too difficult to solder even for beginners.
The kit is suplied with 11 pages of instructions with customer service and 41hz forum... can you ask for more.

Mockery!!!!
But yes, AMP6 is a good choice if your a beginner. I forgot it was even an option.
ok thanks a lot for all your answers
the original T-amp was out of stock at Thinkgeek yesterday but is due to come back in a few weeks so I'll wait and order there

Not at all!! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, you know. I couldn't say it better, so I just said it different. 😀
Yes Nico, Think Geek are good to deal with. I buy from them too.
Hey, what modifications would I have to make to twist the AMP6 or 3 into a headphone amp? I hear T-amps make amazing headphone amps.
No headphone amp is possible with AMP3 and 6. It is. But you will have to rewire the headphones. That makes it a no.
What kind of headphone rewiring would have to be done and why??
The only issue I see with using cans and T-amps is that the amplitude response tends to be load dependent with highs rising when the amplifier is playing into higher impedances. And headphones typically have a much higher impedance than loudspeakers. So the frequency response could be pretty bright with cans. Perhaps a parallel load of 8 ohms on the output would cure this???

Oh!! I just had an epiphany. Is the rewiring required because of the common ground used on headphones??
Good job epiphanying 😉 you got it.
Some highend 'phones- I believe the Sennheiser 600 & 650 at least , have detachable cables at the earcup. This makes the process a lot less scary, you can mod the original cabes without opening the thing up.. If you screw it up you can order replacement cables..

The rewire is the main thing. But there is much more to it. The amp needs a load of somewhere near 8R, plus you need to attentuate the output by about 10:1.
For starters.
I do have a project on the back burner that will allow headphones to be properly driven by a small T-Amp, and no rewiring needed. Someday I'll get to it.... 🙄
