Just got done replacing C1, .mp3 player sounds pretty decent! Might keep it on for a while, hope it doesn't need heat sinks on those big 'ol outputs?? Time for the infra-red gun . . maybe better tone with the cabinet closed up . . .

picked up a second one, and went back and re-read some tips needed for my first, any love left here for TPA-1's?

In all honesty, other than it being rare, it is a fairly crappy player.
Badly made too. On the other hand, why don't you make your own thread? This one is Tim's and has been getting older by the day. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
