FS: 6 channel Gainclone amp

homemade · 30th November 2010, 10:02 PM

ELAN 6 channel LM3886 amp with nice power supply (4 X 10,000uf/50v Nichicons), large torriod transformer. Very low profile in nice understated case. The line out board was removed. Really a cool little amp if you need 6 channels

$150+ shipping

Just a note on this amp. Any 2 adjacent channels are bridgable ,allowing for a 3 channel amp with higher output into 8ohms

Hmm . . . I run a Rane SSA-6 right now and the fan noise is not too much fun to listen to. I could disable, but the amp might get hot. Although with the power I use it blows cold air all the time. Any one think this amp might be a better amp than mine? How much power does each channel put out into 8 ohms and 4 ohms?

I'm interested. What are the dimensions and weight? Where is it shipping from? Paypal ok?

Cheers.

Likely 50 to 60 wpc depending on the rail voltage. Tough to beat the LM3886 for good clean sound. Very stable chip with built in overheat protection.
$150 is a good but IMHO. I have built several of these 2 channel chip amps and it's hard to keep the cost below $150 for just two channels.

I'll buy it, if you don't want to send it to Germany or whatever the reason might be.

Looks like top notch construction. Whoever is getting this is getting a hell of a deal.

Hi Guys.

I'm located in NY. Long Island to be exact.

The amp is indeed very cool ; excellent construction , oversized transformer , good power supply. Real nice 2" high chassis. Measures about 15" wide X 10" deep. About 22lbs.

I think the rails run at 35v , so you'll get 50w into 8ohms
