skyraider: check this site for a review of the gaincard (first 2 reviews) and this one for a "gainclone". (by peter daniel)

the TF version of it.

I don't know anything about electronics but made my third set of gc's.
Turns out to be easy to solder some stuff together, following instructions from guys here on the diverse fora and dedicated websites!

One thing I do not understand is why NS would even make a non insulated version? they both cost the same price, and the TF is so much easier to handle......

Maybe some one can explain, maybe there is a quality difference, soundwise or so ??? Or Durability, as the heat gets trapped inside a TF version more than the T ?

I guess that the thing about gaincard is its new bold design, that something cheap and simple can sound as nice as anything else. a true minimalist and KISS. If nobody ever hacked one open and figured out that it is using a cheap chipamp, there wouldnt be so much controversy about it huh?
