At the bottom of my page here you'll find links to the gainclone webring - try looking at the different pages in that ring, and you should find all the info you need (and more).
Best regards,

Get out while you can. This is addictive. The BriantGT gainclone (chipamp.com) is the crack of DIY audio. Simple to build and will lead to euphoric moods!
Don't anybody tell him about PE!
Twelve months ago I had never built anything. I read the Newark, Mouser or PE catalog before bed now. |

Addictive is right.
Just over a year ago I built My first amp , Leach then I could not stop.
I have sence built the Gainclone based on BrianGts board and now a couple of JLH 10 watt monoblocks.
I would have never guessed that before the Leach I would be asking for Toroidal transformers for Christmas.:D :D :D

Addictive is the word yes.
I started building 4 or 5 months ago, and now i'm well into my preamp and my third GC.
this one will be buffered, regulated and god knows what more..
leave now before it is too late..:eek: |

Run. Run away as fast as you can and don't look back.
I just relegated my line arrays (my beloved lines) to the garage because the wife couldn't stand them dominating the living room any more. She then asked where all the other stuff I'm building is going to go. I told her it was small. Then I had to open my big fat mouth and tell her that I would need a separate set of floorstanders to go with my Bottlehead Foreplay and gainclone monoblocks.
I need a 12 step program or some really good midbass drivers that I can cross over to tweeters that are flat to 40 kHz.
And for my next gainclone project...
Where was I? Oh, yes. Run away fast.
Toroids for Christmas, what a great idea. I can just hear it now, "honey, what's a toroid?" "Don't worry baby, I got it covered..."
Run. |

Way ahead of you guys, I have already asked for a transformer AND caps for an Aleph I am wanting to make :D |

just dumped my 4th amp which is a 2way with ESP 3 way crossover.
I was very happy with this ETI4xx and TDA1514 but no longer as this DIYAUDIObug bit me. Collecting parts for a ClassA amp |

This is bad -- in the early 1960's I used to take the Allied Radio Catalog to bed and read it with a flashlight --

Chipamps multiply like rabbits:
This is the newest arrival -- a bridged LM4780 -- 120 watts:
and here's a drawerfull (along with other protos) which haven't made it to the listening state for various reasons:

My wife asked me if I was serious and then said that toroids are boring gifts.:D :D

| The question is: boring to whom?;) |
|
|
| jackinnj |
| i think that stone torroids are used as a fertility totem in some cultures. (I am absolutely serious). |

Did I mention that the Bottlehead Foreplay is my Christmas gift?
After that I'm thinking a DAC might be just the thing.
The only thing I have no desire to build is a CD player.
I keep my parts catalogues in the throne room.
Oh and jackinnj, thanks a lot for the images. I'm at work and can't get to my soldering iron.
True Life Story: I walked in to a Radio Shack and started laughing at myself because I fit the profile to a T. Early 40's, graying hair, dishevelled, looking through drawers of switches and capacitors.:eek: |
