ebay Gainnclone - Too good to be true?

[DaveFred]

Oh ... and if you want to build from scratch ... this has piqued my interest recently : https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass...st6167110.html

You have no idea what you have done!

JLCPCB in China is making 20 boards for me that I should have by the end of next week and I have a 600va 36v x 4 custom transformer on its way from Poland...

Excellent David ! I'm glad to have affected someone else with the dreaded DIY bug .

Please post a link to the build thread here so that I can follow .

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!

I happen to have bought a chip amp based Gainclone the other week. It's great!

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.

PS; read the man's resume If you need credentials for the design work

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

I have built the Neurochrome 86 amps and they are extremely transparent. They are better when built fully mono with separate power supplies.

I have bought the Neurochrome 286 amplifier and converted that to dual mono, it is my end game amp. I have also built up a 286 for a customer.
I have also heard the Neurochrome 686, if you need lots of power that is the one.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for the input Alan . Have you also tried the more economic version ?

No I've not tried that one but can guess it's not far behind the others.
