threw this togethere for S&Gs. Sold my Trends. It sounds real nice.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Looks pretty good too! Heh, that's an interesting little bugger.

"My goodness, Grandma , what a big heatsink you have!"


Looks nice - good work. I think you'll lenjoy it. The AMP6 is still one of my favs. What are you using for a power supply?

 

[sts9fan]

For now just a wall wart but I am gonna upgrade soon.

 

[Pano]

Cool. 😎

A good power supply will help a lot. Let us know how it goes.

Why such a big heatsink? I'm new to this and thought the tripaths were quite cool. Some I've seen don't have a heatsink.

A) because I had it
B) it was predrilled and fit
C) It looks cool
D) Cuz

You will also notice the mute button is rather large.

With a great emphasis on the D) Cuz!

Thanks sts9fan. It's a great looking amp. I hope mine turns out as well.

sts9fan...

Sold my Trends. It sounds real nice.

That much of an improvement? Cool. I have had this little amp for about 2 years and really enjoy it. I too have a fairly large heat sink added to the chip, just because (I'm a little paranoid & anal).

I should actually get to putting the thing into some kind of enclosure though, and add a second input, and add a potentiometer...

Michael...

didn't wanta ask, as there should be a turntable and tonearm heading your way (or at least the stuff to make a turntable), but at least a complete tonearm

trying to figure out a prob with one of the GF amps (still)...

take care..

I would not say it is a HUGE improvement but for now it is at least a wash. The market for the Trends is really hot so it sold in 20min for a good price. I just don't need to little Class D amps right now. I mostly run a Zv9 for my poweramp.
If you were to add a pot to the amp6basic where would you connect it?

potentiometer ....

would be connected between the RCA inputs and the signal input on the board.

if a 2 input device is desired, then a DPDT switch could be added prior to the potentiometer, tying the negatives all to ground....
