No fancy preamps, just the piezo strip on a length of wire.

Anyone know a supplier where I could get a handful?

Thanks!

Sadly TCL wont ship outside the US

Ah well, thanks anyway, I found a supplier in the UK for replacement under saddle Piezo for ?8 each. More than I'd hopedf, but still, better than nowt.

Now to fit one and try a range of onboard preamps before I start cutting soundports in my latest build!

A friend of mine makes his own. He picks up a little piezo speaker or beeper or something like that at Radio Shake (I'm to old to remember stuff). He then breaks them open and gets the little metal part takes the wire off and puts a better wire on it then covers one side with hot glue. I have one in my 1st build and it seems to do fine running through about any amp. If you all want I can get the info for you.
