im about to glock

1. buy stax

2. DIE

Anyone tried one of the chinese Amplifiers/ DIY Amplifiers before?
Planning on building a gainclone and would prefer a solution where i don't have to hassle with cores and their controls too much.

sounds like @HEKTIK 's dose

@Sdeck37 ayy im about to build a gainclone

what do you mean "where i don't have to hassle with cores and their controls too much" tho?

@Windatica apparently pencil graphite or something helps with creaking

some nerd told me to do that to the srh440's

havent tried yet tho

can't afford pencils? can't blame you

wow

@HEKTIK Oh yeaah

Well i build electricity for my lamps and stuff like that before, but i've never touched a cpu/microcontroller

Namely the LM3886

... wat

um

its not a processor

dude, SOMETHING happens to those wacky 0's and 1's, and clearly electricity needs to be built

just follow the default gainclone design and its piss easy

you can also get chinese kits, which are fine

though the PSU's on them are apparently a bit sketch

It's not? Damn that's the impression i got from all that stuff :/

its just an amp chip

gainclone is super simple

ignoring transformer/chassis/heatsinks/wire, its like a $30 amp in componentry and pcb

🤔

or just buy a normal amp 😂

yeah feel free to go buy a chinese overspec'd TDA amp that runs at 10 times higher than spec gain

and then have to redo the gain stage

how else do i power my monks

straight from the wall

so thats why the ground plugs are round

ya

ZZZSZzZap

As i wanna build one that powers 4boxes, no sub, would you suggest i buy everything from scratch,
or, to get back on my first point, can i just buy a chinese prebuild, modify a tad and be done with it..

@Windatica It's just to listen to some music while cooking, don't need to go full audiophile there

if you can find a decent TDA/Tripath from china that actually has verified measurements that dont roll off in retarded places, and operate to chip spec, thats fine

but otherwise its easier to build from "scratch"

if youre only running efficient speakers, the dayton audio dta-1 is actually good

or just at medium volumes
