FS: LM3886 Gainclone Amplifier

[tubehunter]

Hi

Here's a LM3886 Gainclone I've build in a very nice old amp case.

Quality Toroidal Transformer.

Has indented volume pots on the input which you can bypass if needed by setting them to max.

£100 inc postage

Well done I'm loving my recently purchased Gainclone. My boards were from Chipamp, just out of interest who made these ones?

The above amp uses boards from Yuanjing and very nice quality they are too.



The best sounding 'Gainclone' chip amp I've come across (and I've built many) is the one pictured below.

It uses the LM1876 Overture chip and the very nice PGA2311 volume control chip as a preamp.
Very sweet detailed sound, not a lot of power but if you have efficient speakers, ACE.

These can be picked up for peanuts, I paid £15 for this one.

Happy Days

Duncan

[hornucopia]

Surely not £15 for the box and contents? as shown? JUst the chip?

[tubehunter]

Yes really!

Got mine from CDL in Runcorn off eBay, they appear frequently.

I used a lot of Extron kit in the world of pro AV, high quality well built and reliable.

Ive bought myself one of these Extrons. A bit gobsmacked TBH. Drives my Audionotes easily and sounds fantastic. Thanks for the heads up Duncan. Just goes to show how good a sound you can get for so little money.
The separation and layering is better than a lot of expensive kit I've owned and it just fills my room.
Just banging some massive attack out now.

[Bourney]

Duncan, do you think this could be put into a nicer case easily? Just a plain brushed steel type amp case or something?

[tubehunter]

Yes probably, but is it cost effective.

The case it's in is aluminium.

[Bourney]

I know, its ugly though isn't it :D

[donmarrese]

I'm intrigued ....Just ordered one from the states for £39 from Trump Country ($12 to be exact, postage/customs for the rest) all in...will let you know the coo when I get it...YES, the unit is a bit rough looking, but I seldom look at the mantelpiece when poking the fire.... It's the sound that counts!


I know, its ugly though isn't it :D

Got my Extron MLS 304SA set up in my study system with my KEF Q550’s and I’m really impressed. Happy to keep with this in there for a while
