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

2018-01-26 02:12:27 UTC  

Yeah

2018-01-26 02:12:38 UTC  

I didn't really thought of it so far

2018-01-26 02:13:00 UTC  

Maybe i should test them first on like 30/50 and see how they sounds

2018-01-26 02:13:25 UTC  

my reasonably large monitors run off my beta 22 fine which only puts out 18W

2018-01-26 02:13:54 UTC  

Sounds good

2018-01-26 02:14:02 UTC  

*heh*

2018-01-26 02:14:41 UTC  

Thanks for all the advice.
Sorry, i really never touched audio before. It's all a bit new for me.

2018-01-26 02:14:48 UTC  

all good

2018-01-26 02:15:14 UTC  

just glue a bluetooth speaker to the wall, or better yet, get one of those shower ones so you don't even need to glue it

2018-01-26 02:15:18 UTC

2018-01-26 02:15:37 UTC  

my $10 bluetooth speaker measures flatter than a ton of like $20k+ speakers lol

2018-01-26 02:16:23 UTC  

I imagine now a speaker dropping into my soup or some shit

2018-01-26 02:16:30 UTC  

lol

2018-01-26 02:16:40 UTC  

stop cooking right under your music
