3252 not for the 8ohm speaker users. Unfortunately. Looking at the graphs output power differences between the 2/4/8 ohms are worlds apart. More for the AVI users than pure audio brigade.
For the folks who prefer cheap notebook/laptop power supply bricks, please see the attached reports of units that may fail or have the risk of electric shock/fire/hazard..
Just if you want to know, if your $6 supply is safe..

And the last one..
For all those, the main problems are:
Please note, these are only units that were tested and mostly came in a retail package (blister or papercard). So i suspect many more "not safe" units out there, esspecially when not made for retail. But, as always, you get what you pay for. 🙂

Can't agree with this more. Cheap SMPSes can be dangerous, there's several stories out there of people getting electrocuted by counterfeit iphone chargers and such.
If you're going the laptop supply route, hit up a thrift store and look for old laptop/printer/whatever adapters with name brands. If it's a genuine Dell/HP/Gateway/IBM/Acer/whatever adapter, it's a safe, verified design.
Example of stable HIFI amplifier, power specs very predictable, why would this be bad for hifi?

I mean that success across a broad spectrum of users, using ranges of 4 - 8ohm speakers, the output power should realistically be more comparative. Being worlds apart, the 8 Ohm users can find better elsewhere. That's all.
If an amplifier is correctly designed and specified then its 4 ohm output power will be significantly different from its 8 ohm.
Don't remember reason for professional Quad for BBC, there was a constant output model I seem to remember. But really beside the point here
It's one saving grace, I suppose for the 8 ohms is its much lower thd at 10W and under.
I am not arguing. That's my interpretation. Opinions differ.
Just as many like to use the bricks for cheapness, yet I use linear bi-polar with common gnd supply fitted with an anti surge. Many, if not most suffer from initial power surges, yet the cure for most is to use anti pop circuit.
Personal preference.

I fail to see how this is a good example of amp! 100W output from two amps consuming 650W continuous. I suppose in '90's everything was considered more is better.
Both things don't relate to each other. TPAs Pop is due to imbalance of caps/input resistance, dI/dT is limited there.

Wow....prices really are dropping!
Followed your link, and then browsed....found this
HIFI Class 2.0 Stereo Digital Amplifier TPA3116 Advanced 50W + 50W-in Amplifier from Consumer Electronics on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
Worth the money to me for the enclosure alone. 20x15x12 decent size for custom board....mmmm. Better take the wife out for dinner again to sweeten the purchase money pot!
