@Sdeck37 ayy im about to build a gainclone

2018-01-26 01:57:41 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 01:58:09 UTC  

@Windatica apparently pencil graphite or something helps with creaking

2018-01-26 01:58:22 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 01:58:26 UTC  

havent tried yet tho

2018-01-26 01:58:45 UTC  

can't afford pencils? can't blame you

2018-01-26 01:59:18 UTC  

wow

2018-01-26 02:01:52 UTC  

@HEKTIK Oh yeaah

2018-01-26 02:02:36 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:02:42 UTC  

Namely the LM3886

2018-01-26 02:02:45 UTC  

... wat

2018-01-26 02:03:19 UTC  

um

2018-01-26 02:03:22 UTC  

its not a processor

2018-01-26 02:03:43 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:03:43 UTC  

just follow the default gainclone design and its piss easy

2018-01-26 02:03:56 UTC  

you can also get chinese kits, which are fine

2018-01-26 02:04:05 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:04:21 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:04:28 UTC  

its just an amp chip

2018-01-26 02:04:33 UTC  

gainclone is super simple

2018-01-26 02:05:02 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:05:07 UTC  

🤔

2018-01-26 02:05:25 UTC  

or just buy a normal amp 😂

2018-01-26 02:05:51 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:06:01 UTC  

and then have to redo the gain stage

2018-01-26 02:06:03 UTC  

how else do i power my monks

2018-01-26 02:06:08 UTC  

straight from the wall

2018-01-26 02:06:19 UTC  

so thats why the ground plugs are round

2018-01-26 02:06:23 UTC  

ya

2018-01-26 02:06:28 UTC  

ZZZSZzZap

2018-01-26 02:06:47 UTC  

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..

2018-01-26 02:07:56 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:08:06 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:08:24 UTC  

but otherwise its easier to build from "scratch"

2018-01-26 02:08:59 UTC  

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

2018-01-26 02:09:07 UTC  

or just at medium volumes

2018-01-26 02:10:23 UTC  

Eeh

2018-01-26 02:10:31 UTC  

They're 70/100W

2018-01-26 02:10:39 UTC  

lol

2018-01-26 02:10:46 UTC  

thats probably peak rating, which means fuck all

2018-01-26 02:11:14 UTC  

youre not unloading 100W into a speaker unless its some stupid maggie or some other rediculous shit
