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 · 18th November 2008, 06:54 PM

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

Pano · 19th November 2008, 02:06 AM

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.

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...
