stereo hifi project with fm reciever

[gideon]

hello all,

I am new here, though i have read quite a bundle of threads untill now.

Two days ago i disfigured my rooms' hifi. its quite an old one with a nice sound. it still works but its hanging on a thread.

I've been thinking of building my own hifi stereo amp in order to play music in my room.

my room is quite small with edgy nieghbours so i dont need much volume power and i am not much of an audiophile.

So basically what i need quite upfront is an easy to build , easy to find parts and cheap amp.
Ive read about the gainclone and it sounds like a nice project, though i am not sure how readily available are the parts.
and last i want to add an fm reciver to the circuit.

I would be glad to hear your advices, for some simple begginer project in this manner.

Much thanks in advance,
Gideon

hi gideon

my room is quite small with edgy nieghbours so i dont need much volume power and i am not much of an audiophile.

well, there is a little chance to get a great sound in small room
plus the neighbours....
why don't invest in a pair of high quality headphones and focus on building excelent quality headphone amp then
the result might be personal sonic bliss in small package
just an option....

Hi Ed,

a headphone amp sounds like a nice idea, and i am a great fan of listening to music with headphones, but i am looking to replace my current room hifi,
i listen to music most of the time i am in my room, and there's a limit to how much you can wear headphones.

Ive recently built a ruby guitar amp, and it came out great, after seeing how simple it was to get such nice sound, ive been thinking to diy a chip based hifi amp,

plus i want to add the fm reciever bit for various reasons, thats why i need some expert assistance.
