" I also have one little question about the powersupply.
Can I use one withe these specs:
300VA, 2x24 Volt, 2x6.25A "
This is perfect in my experience, with the standard 1.4 multiplier you should give you around 36volts ish. Don't use any voltage regulators as they have a maximum tolerance of 35 volts! I popped a few with my own PSU??
I've found that you can get 60 watts plus into a 8 ohm load with this setup. Personally, I would use two, one for each PSU/Chanel.
Although my recent gainclone only used 1 PSU and I got 50 watts plus into my 4 ohm Jamo giants!

Hi Again,
After that I bought one of Brian's kits at chipamp.com. The single power supply version of the LM3886 kit; it sounds awesome.
You'll find that you can't stop at one, the buzz takes hold; it is very rewarding.
A tip is that the electronics are the easy part <for me anyway>, it's the pigging cosmetics of the chassis that frustrates!! I find myself not happy every time I build one. So try and find a stopping point and keep it simple! I have made some monumental cockups from tinkering with minor unecesary changes.
When you first turn it on <and it works> you'll be hooked for sure!!!!
I've moved on to the LM4780 chip <2 LM3886's in one package> and am playing with 2 of them in parallel! 4 glorius 3886's!

Have you ordered a kit? My first gainclone was one of Rod Elliots from ESP; worked around the LM3876! I used vero board and components I could "harvest" from junk at home, sounded as sloppy as it's construction. Rod's circuit is great though and I see he's finally added a "gainclone" < we all succumb to social terminology in the end> to the ranks of his other 100+ circuits!!

Ooops, havenot been here for a while due to some personal reasons...
Yes I hav ordered a LM4780 kit from audiosector. I hope it wold work just fine when I put the pieces together.
You will probably see meny stupid questions from me from because I am a beginner att this
Edit: Since I have bought a kit from audiosector, should I ask questions about it in the thread at "Vendor's Bazaar" ?
