Chip Amp Photo Gallery

I'm almost finished with my first Chip Amp build. I am happy to say it is extremely quiet and sounds great. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this forum. I definitely couldn't have done it without you all. Also, I want to say I am very happy with the 3886 amp kit I got from Chipamp.com. As you can see I still need to mount the pot and put in some sort of extension. My plan is to carefully drill a hole in the bottom plate and mount it to a L bracket. Any advice? Ill post pics when I have completed the amp.

LM3886 Gainclone

My P2P gainclone photos and my first post ever:D

Initially built PD 3875 Premium kit, very good sounding amp especially the mid and high. I managed to break one of the pin after messing around and rendered the chip useless. While shopping for a replacement, I bought a whole bunch of LM3886TF chips instead as it's on special for just a little bit over A$5 bucks each from my local supplier, thinking I may use the rest to build something funky down the track. Anyway here is my amp.
As for the sound, I would not say I like it that much, for some reason it doesn't sound as good as PDs kit, it sounds just like any other amps I've heard, not that I've heard many amps though:p
Spec:
dual mono LM3886
2 x 300VA 25vx2 Trafos
Mix of boutique and al-cheapo passive components.
