Same with me. I ordered from chipamp few months ago, but no PCBs, no response, no money back. In the meantime I was able to recevie lm3886dr and modulus 86 boards.
Looks like i can kiss this chipamp goodbye. I am real sorry i did not read this tread in beforehand. I can live with the loss of money. But i heard this chipamp. And it sounds real good. So it's a pitty i can't get one of my own

Do not worry. Write claim in PayPal. I got my money back. Get Modulus 86 pcbs instead.

Thanks for the reply. I guess that is the way to go forward 🙂
I still have some built-up modules that I am not using anymore. it might take me some time to find them (I moved houses recently) but I did have a 4ch (4 boards) amp working for a few years before I took it out of service. it was built using the red chipamp.com boards.
if you are ok with boards that are already built and known to be working, PM me and I'll try to locate the box that I packed them in.

Thanks for the reply guys. It is heart warming to see people want to help.
I will give Brian some time to make this right.
And if that does not happen i will come back to the offers in this thread

Add me to the list of people burned, I placed an order on 8th October for a 3886 kit... They took the money but since then absolutely no responses to repeated emails or calls...
Very disappointed. ..

To reiterate what Tio said above - you might spend a bit more on boards / kits from Tom at Neurochrome, but you'll get more than your money's worth. I could get gushy / verbose with audiotweak-speak, but the Mod86 is a very nice design, and the less complex 3886DR ain't no slouch either.

Anyone have an update on the situation? The website is stil up. Unlike most others in this thread, i am interested in his aleph boards and PS. His pcb's are very well respected, and there aren't too many high quality alternatves AFAIK.
Not sure what to say tried to order 3866 but paypal responded not accepting payments at this time I called and left a message with chipamp.com but did not get a call back. I tried to pay through paypal the next day and the order went through. I received a reply on 2-14 that the order was received and I received the kit via usps 2-18. Every thing looks good, now I just have to solder it to the boards
Hope this helps

Thanks for your first and only post.
After reading this thread, it seems that there are two general categories of experience with Chipamp recently: 1) service was okay, got what I ordered; or, 2) money and email goes into a black hole. There doesn't appear to be a defining characteristic between the two...
My recent experience was the latter.
- ordered some borads in mid-March and received an automated reply acknowledging the order.
- confirmed via Paypal that Chipamp had been paid
- wrote to Chipamp a few days after seeking confirmation of payment and shipping info - nothing
- wrote to Chipamp via Paypal inquiry about a week later - nothing
- raised a dispute with Paypal and had my money returned
It'd difficult to speculate on what the business status is, but given apparent randomness of responses, I would avoid.

I am having the exact same experience as Johnny Canuck - except not having raised the dispute claim yet. I'll give them a couple of days more to respond.
For those interested in the Chipamp.com LM3886 PCB, I have posted this:

I sold one set and have one more available.
