For 40 dollars including shipping and handling you can buy good quality, debugged and guaranteed good boards

however...you want to make a fairly complex design (your first) do you know how expensive just the bare building blocks for a pcb are?

You need quite a few tools to make something like that...drills, acid..bla...bla...bla..

I can understand that you might be strapped for cash....but making the pcb yourself is even more expensive. (could be fun though) And take a risk that you add some errors...meaning you have to do it over....aaargghhhh..

I would just order the boards from that guy...http://www.aussieamplifiers.com/ampkits.htm buy the parts...build it with less frustration...and enjoy listening to music.

Cheers,
Bas

one of the reasons i want to make it my self is for learning reasons. and yes probably you are right about the money, maybe i should try something less powerfull ( like 200W@4ohm ). maybe you could offer me something less powerfull and expencive

maybe you could offer me something less powerfull and expencive

Sure can..

How about a gainclone. BrianGT is offering PCB'S for 10US$...

And a kit for around 40-50US$...that puts around 50Watts of ultra musical power

Brian's kit is based on this design by Peter Daniel.. (Both are on this audio forum)

all you'll need is rca plugs, volume control, transformer, binding posts and maybe switching gear....not even if you allready have a preamp that you are happy with.

See the chip amp forum for more info

and becides, somehow i dont realy think that somebody would send me PCB to Lithuania we are quite used to making a lot of stuff by ourselfs

thanx for the help

I bought the PCBs for the amp that is now called AV400. It's good and a worthwhile option if you want a high power amp. I bet Anthony would send them to Lithuania if you wanted.
