You need a decent power supply and you're also best off using higher attenuation speakers - I use Kef Q Compact speakers with mine - as they need less power.

Tom Davis says: 'I use my Sonic T-Amp day in day out, both with my Mac laptop and my iPod - it's great. It's better if your speakers have a high sensitivity (eg 89dB). As long as you do not want ear-splitting volume, it provides wonderfully clear, detailed sound. If anyone has used this with an MP3 player, let us know how it works.īackchat: On using the cheap but great-sounding Sonic Impact T-Amp to blast out music from their MP3 player, Eamonn Twomey responded, saying: 'I'm really pleased with mine, purchased on eBay for about 30 quid. Oddly enough, there is a cheap but well-reviewed Chinese-made amplifier that can run on batteries and has a 3.5mm input jack: the Sonic Impact T-Amp. For example, .uk has a Hama Connection Cable MP3 for £1.88, while Maplin sells the Groove Connect MP3 cable for £9.99. You should be able to get a cheap cable on the high street, although there are some sold for that specific purpose. The input you can't use is the one intended for a turntable. If not you can use the one intended for a CD or DVD player or a tape recorder.

You can use any line-in input on the amp, and often there's one called AUX for auxiliary. You just need to buy a connection lead that has a 3.5mm headphone jack on one end (to fit the MP3 player) and a pair of RCA phono plugs on the other end (to fit the amplifier) - check your systems first! If you have to buy an amplifier to drive the Wharfedales, then the question becomes a familiar one: how do you connect an MP3 player to a hi-fi? In this case, the answer is simple.
