This part 2 is continue from the Part 1 here.
After my office hour yesterday, I had a chance to visit my favorite component audio store. I bought several components to continuing this Tripath amplifier project. As you can see this Tripath amplifier projcet will be very interesting because the components that I choose for this project is so much better and expensive than the price of the kit itself.
First of all, this is the Panasonic FC capacitor that will be use in the power supply section. This is a very good quality capacitor and become one of my favorite capacitor. This Panasonic FC is affordable and the specification is very good. This capacitor has the lowest ESR compares to other capacitor with the same grade.
Who cannot resist to use this ALPS blue potentiometer in the amplifier. Same like me, this ALPS blue is my favorite potentiometer not just because the price is affordable, it also have good linearity and good sounding potentiometer. This ALPS blue potentiometer's price always going up year by year and when I bought it, the price is almost the same to the Tripath kit itself.
I also bought this special PCB for this ALPS blue potentiometer. It is very useful for beginner in DIY audio to learn how to connect the potentiometer as a volume control. IN from the RCA female plug, OUT to the amplifier input. Easy!
In this project I also using the bigger film capacitors. It is actually a cheap MKP capacitors compares to the pricy WIMA. I think this is enough for the Zobel network application that will be use next.
The power switch I will using here is the Salecom brand. This is a Taiwan product but this switch is so much different with the cheap one. This is very good switch and still affordable.
Next one is this solid aluminum knob for more sleek looking amplifier.
This is the kit after I installing the filter capacitor and Zobel network. This kit look beefy now.
I am using this handy size universal aluminum amplifier casing. This casing not only look great, it also suitable for this amplifier project.
I think it is all for the progress of this amplifier build.

The others fancy components is this CMC USA female RCA connector. I also cannot bear with beautiful RCA plug to put in this amplifier. Again, this CMC plug almost the same price with the amplifier kit itself.

Next one is this solid aluminum knob for more sleek looking amplifier.

In the part 3 here, I will working with the casing to make holes for the input and output terminals.
