| These look pretty good. Something to plug the PowerBook into when not
near the stereo, or even something to run the PC through with a pair of
Dick Smith specials...
Does anyone know of an Aussie importer/reseller of these units?
Cheers,
Kai

I'm curious to know if the flat pack cardboard speakers are available
in Australia?

9w @ 10%THD and 8 AAA batteries. I am rapidly losing interest in it ;-)

You should read the articles and take a look at the manufacturer's site for
the specifications. This IC operates like many analogue op amp types in
terms of distortion vs. output power. Distortion is very low until just on
the onset of maximum output power, where it rises rapidly. At just a
fraction over 9 watts RMS into 4 ohms, the THD+N at 1kHz is typically less
than 0.04% (see the performance graph at -
http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/sonicimpact/t.html ).
For a portable amplifier it wins on efficiency, size and weight. At powers
up to 9 watts per channel from a 12 volt source the chip needs no
heatsinking and the efficiency approaches an incredible 90% at full power
into 8 ohms. Full tech details are available at -
http://www.tripath.com/downloads/TA2024.pdf
I believe one of the Bel Canto integrated amps uses the same technology from
the same chip manufacturer.
Cheers,
Alan
