Another broken record here, Me too, i starting to think that people are in denial that this little £60 amp can sound so good,

again i will ask has anyone tried a 2050 "T" chip amp yet?

Hi Jon. I used to use a 4 channel 2050 made by Sure electronics in an active set up and I thought it was fantastic! Also I used to have a Trends TA 10.1 which is I think a 2024 and that was superb too. Hamish now has the sure amp.

Thanks Steve, i picked up one of your postings the other day from a few years back on the DIY forum when i was looking through the mountain of postings on there about class D stuff, its amazing what some people can do with a circuit board and a box to put it in, the Sure board is the one i was looking at, i'm thinking of making a pair of active speakers with a couple of boards so idealy i would want mono boards or a way to convert them.

Jon, I have just noticed that Sure are doing some big mono amp boards that I had not seen before, they look interesting!

Sod it then, Mini-T it is, I've already got a standalone headphone amp anyway. :)

Done it myself previously so i'm not too worried about the prospect. I'll let you know how it arrives :)

Well it arrived today :) It's totally in bits so i'll need to do some surface mount soldering, just looking for an ultra fine weller tip to do the job ;)

They are pretty small to say the least, each PCB is about the same size as a king size packet of ciggies (not that i smoke the horrible things :eyebrows:). It just doesn't look like they have any right at all to stick out 150W RMS 8 ohm :D

Tiny dab of glue under the component to hold it in place while you're soldering and a very steady hand. No beer tonight for you ;)
