More Bits and Bling in that contraption than in my TV set.
There's over a 100$ worth of bits on there alone.. IF they were Genuine

Want a Genuinely "good" Lm3886 amp??
Buy this and Likely need never again get the urge to buy alternate amplifications.

Interesting read and I am sure it is very good. I have got old and lazy and can't be bothered any more to source all the parts needed

I have been eyeing that amp for a while. Have you built one yet ? If so, does it live up to its reputation ?

PS. I have built a couple of Gainclones from Chipamp and Peter Daniel and also a LJM L15D Pro all of which I'm very fond of.

No I've not bought that one.. have tried other Chi Fi ones on a lark ..Too many.
The Lure of almost free draws in the naive.. in droves.
Typically (without fail) Every piece is a Fake. Surprisingly, the resultant sounds were/are decently average... for as long as the thing worked.

Yet a Simple Genuine parts one such as Chipamp... Are leagues better.
And Peter's are that much better yet. But still, no candle to the neurochrome one

IF you've done those, the above Gizmo may dissapoint entirely
Feeling Lucky?

Has anyone here built one of these modulus 86 amps ? I'm quite intrigued , a good DIY'er I know from SA has been going on about this and Neurochrome LM3886 Done Right . https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/vend...0-004-thd.html

Congrats on the 5000th post Rob

Surprising what you can get from China for very little money. I'd say go for it, nice that it includes the anti-thump/speaker protection circuit as well.

Yes, 5,000....I must get out more

I have made many GC's, a BrianGT one, several LM3886 and 3875 point to point and one bridged stereo 3886 P2P (you don't want to see the rats nest of wires underneath!)

This just peaked my interest, and yes having the protection circuit is a unusual bonus for these cheap boards. Heatsink? Oooh getting a bit thin on the ground, I might just nail it to a dustbin lid....in case it is rubbish

Strangely, it's 'PIQUED', not peaked-just for kaizen.
It CAN mean irritated-if you feel like it!

Here's a slightly different take with OPA2604 .



The price is so good , it's probably worth checking out .

I've tried various LJM kits , with very good results , and every time from this seller :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-KIT-LJM-...item2c92433554

I've tried the following :

LJM L25D ( IR class D ) - very close to IR reference circuit , amazing performance with 400VA torroidal + dual rail supply ( 6x 10 000 uF Nichicon 80V ) ; or with 2x Abletech 53-0-53 SMPS ( one smps on 2x modules blew smps )

LJM L20 ( Class AB ) - excellent with 400VA torroidal + dual rail supply

LJM L25 ( Class AB with onboard opamp pre ) - excellent with 400VA torroidal + dual rail supply

I see that the seller only sells the L15D Pro and L20D Class D's now . I'd like to get these in future too . I can highly recommend the linear dual-rail PSU option . I built my own , but he sells those too , probably cheaper than building your own . SQ with linear supply sounds effortless and is completely neutral . Simply amazing .
