Hi Vikash,
I've been doing my research on building a chip amp to replace my now vintage student audio setup. I may well order from you the LM3886 Dual Mono kit in a few days. Nice site BTW.
Cheers

Hi Vikash
Are you planning to sell snubber power supply upgrade kits to retro fit legacy boards?

I don't have any seperate power supply upgrade boards/kits at the moment, but may do in the future. At present only the LM3886 Dual Mono kits come with the snubberised PSU section as standard.
I'm having some custom toroids wound, potted and finished in black which will go nicely with the kits, and also those little green pots that I like.

Cheers for the speedy response. I'll keep my eye open for upgrade kits. I haven't finished my legacy kit yet so the wife wouldn't appreciate me buying another kit already. 🙂
Just out of interest, have you rtied the snubberized 3886 kit? How did it compare to your 3875 legacy amps?
Nice site by the way.

I haven't tried the LM3886 with snubberised PSU yet. I've just finished putting together a LM4780 kit (which was done i record time of less than 1 hour to put a whole amp board together!) and will now look for some inspiration of another unique chassis design before building and comparing it to the LM3886.
I've had some enquiries for chassis materials, particularly the plastics I used in TATCA. I have some acrylic extruded rod pieces (volume control knob) and clear plastic sheets available in various thicknesses. Contact me with your requirements. 😉
Great stuff as always, Vikash. I hope you can keep the site layout as clean and clear as it is now as your product range expands. Any plans for a complete amp kit (including the chassis? - edit: one of your own chassis designs, I mean)
I'm planning on a PCB kit/Pot/Transformer combo, but there's no plan to include a chassis.
Were you referring to a particular chassis?

I was thinking of that tiny clear plastic GC you made. Wasn't that based around the pcbs you are selling?
Yep, the chassis was made around the amp PCB's and heatsinks. I can provide the plastic sheets and cut extruded rod to make TATCA.
If there is interest, I see no reason why not to offer a very simple TATCA-like chassis in the future. After all it's only four pieces of plastic, and two heatsinks 😉

What's the height and diameter of the transformer? I'll be interested if it will fit Peter's integrated chassis.

The PCB's have arrived. I'm putting one of the kits together and they should be ready to ship out in a few days (busy moving into offices at the moment).
I've settled on bnc conenctors for the mic input and they will be supplied with the full kits.

Silly question - and I probably haven't been paying attention - but what's the mic preamp's intended use? Is it a measuring tool or intended as a preamp for line only recorders?

Hi Colin, the intention is to use it as a meauring tool. Partnered with the quite linear WM-61 electret, its primary function for most will be measuring loudspeaker FR.
However, I've used the first prototype to record a percussion lesson, and I was quite impressed with it, so I'll be doing a lot of recording with it in future too. 😉
