I returned to DIY electronics in 2009 after a 20 year pause by building a few kits to get in shape. This blog is for me to keep track of my progress.

LME49830 based amp

This is an implementation of National's reference design for LME49830 with two matched pairs of 2SK1530+2SJ201 per channel. The PCBs were made using National's gerbers (thus National's logos). Sounds surpisingly good, but it has just been completed; I did not have a chance to listen to it carefully yet.

Update: I rebuilt the amp as a pair of monoblocks, each delivering healthy 200W into 8 ohms. It now looks tidier.

Update: the original Gerbers from National are nowhere to be found since national.com was merged into ti.com. Attached are the original archives downloaded from the national.com.

    It sounds ok; not that I can point at any specific problem, but it always leaves something to be desired.

    Do you have AN-1850 & AN1849 gerber file ?

    I can't find them on internet because national.com become ti.com .
