theres even a pcb, I thought it was a point to point. If the amp was turned 90deg I think thered be alot of gaincard pcbs being made.

FYI, the 6 Moons photos of the innards of the Gaincard proper (i.e. not the Power Humpty) were supplied by Yoshi Segoshi of Sakura Systems.

Yes. Which is why Srajan had Yoshi provide the photos.

It looks to me like they are using the TF version of the chip.

Based on the size of the filtering caps, they are not Blackgate Standards. I wonder what make they are.

The caps are probably the cheapest they can get without affecting the sound.

I tried this once with power supply caps and some really cheapo ones (pennies) did sound awful, Maplins ones sounded OK, then trying some really expensive 'Audio Grade' ones made no difference at all.

Such is life.
