It is finally here in the showroom, can also book, but final price is not fix yet. It way mentioned will be below rm140,000.
Spec is very attractive:
200HP

6 speed manual transmission

All above taken from Paul Tan http://paultan.org/2013/09/26/peugeot-208-gti-at-glenmarie/

Some the spec, it is a fast car, most important it is manual transmission, that's mean you don't need to worry about the auto trans problem and high maintenance.

Just waiting for the other 2 rockets (Ford Fiesta ST and Clio RS) to launch and the segment will be very fun.

Capacitors and opamp

kww — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:33:58 +0800

Newbie here.
I am into music for quite some time, but I am more into car audio. Recently bump into CMOY headhone amp and build one on a bread board 2 weeks ago with parts from Jalan Pasar. Quite amaze how this little thing can do to headphone. I change a few capacitors (jalan pasar one) and it did change the sound.

Now my next project is to upgrade active crossover of my car audio. But I got a few question want to ask:
1. What is 'electrolytic' capacitor mean? I saw some with this term and some without in Farnell.
2. Between these brand which you think is more suitable for details, smooth and warmer sound/voice: Sanyo OSCON, Panasonic FM, Elna Silmic or Cerafine, Rubicon and Nichicon (only this brand got electrolytic cap). I am looking at these brand because it is from the same price range and can order from Farnell. The on board capacitors are from Sam Young and Senyun SES
3. I am also changing op-amp from TL072 and OP275 to OPA2107, any comment on OPA2107?

I attach the picture of the board also.

I want to do the upgrade once and for all as it is quite hard to remove and install the crossover in confine space of car. Any comment are welcome .
Thanks.
