Project Major Update...

Since holidays I had been working on multiple electronic projects, based on my interests of course, besides adding more functionality and practicality to my product.

Outcome of my Stereo Pre-Amp:
RM 88 CHEAPEST if bought outside

I'm offering RM 60 for one (each custom made) if u wan it...
Right Frontal View:

Nice? The box is custom made to fit the circuit perfectly...
Now lets look at the construction progress:



Not much pictures taken as I spent most of the time troubleshoot to make the pre-amp working perfectly.



Switch at "ON" position


Switch at "STANDBY" position to tell you the pre-amp is ready to kick up

A Pre-Amp would not work without an amp. So what's below is also another custom built amp.
With LED Volume Unit Meter! Rare item man!
Once you turn on the switch for the amp, Pre-Amp is set to be in standby mode until you turn it on. This is ultimately prefect for normal power up without sudden "pop" that will damage the speakers.

Control knob functions:
Blue-Volume
Red-Balance
Yellow-Bass
Orange-Treble
Thin Red-I just told you

You might think that The arrangement of the control knobs seems wrong, but its purposely made like this for quicker access to Bass and Treble controls, which is more easily reachable than less used controls like Balance. Volume knob is all way to left for easy access also.

Another thing about this controls is the minimum volume will be on the right and maximum volume on the left. Which is a total contrast to a normal pre-amp, hi-fi system, etc. This is purposely introduced not to complicate the users, but to add an innovative yet distinctive touch on this unique product.

This pre-amp is currently powering my old Sony TV woofer. With little treble and 3/4 for bass at half of its volume up, the sound produced should be loud enough to play with...

Now i'm enjoying the system with newly released Fish Leong song's.
(Yea, her song doesn't need a woofer)
Anyhow, i'm very satisfied with the performance of this pre-amp coupled up with my 300 Watts amp. This whole system is cheaper than anything else you can find outside with it's substantial performance.

Up Next I'm going to improve on the appearance of the pre-amp. Perhaps paste sticker overlaying the front panel to improve its overall appearance.
