NIGC or IGC, advices needed.

[Dxvideo]

Hi all,

I will make another gainclone for my living room. In fact I made a really good MOSFET amp for that but its a huge one and my wife dont like its shape.

Anyway these are my personal problems.

I made one LM3886 (with bass boosted NFB line) and one LM4780 gainclones for my PC and using LM4780 with my handmade speakers. But now I bought a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 speakers for living room. Now I need an amplifier for them.

I like LM3886s sound but until now I listened NIGC clones and I dont have any idea does IGC or NIGC type GC's have any differences on sound quality. I want to make a tiny one and best sound as possible.

May you give some advices should I use IGC or NIGC plan for it?
And another question; I will add a NOSDAC (TDA1543) to it. Should I use a preamp (with LM4562 or so) or not?

Thanks in advance..

The WAF -- "wife appreciation factor" -- you must seriously decide which is more important -- music or wife.

In fact this is a question like "whats life meanings" I cannot answer that. Sorry.

Hi,
build a dog house (kennel) and decide who lives in it.
