After several months of planning and acquiring parts, I finally got down to constructing a chip amp (gainclone). The amp uses the National Semiconductor LM3886 chip with printed circuit boards (PCB) purchased from chipamp.com. I finished the amp late last night, so I only have about 3 hours on it and I don’t think it is burnt in. So far it sounds pretty good. It sounds much better than it should given the simplicity and low cost of this amp. There is a lot of power available and the bottom end is very good.
