Ok... Can I check my configuration for one of mono blocks...
The build seemed to OK, but just testing one of the boards and no sound 🙁 24vdc at test points and near zero at test points 3 & 4 at the chip...
I hoping it's just buffoonery with my connections 🙂 - any advice or tips?

Cheers 🙂 A bit of a squeeze for some of them, but thought seeing this is going to be my last amp for a little while (have said that before though!) I'd try nice caps... Probably no difference - but look nice 🙂 I agree with the 'get your ears syringed' as the best upgrade you can implement 🙂
 
Hello All,
With the help from this forum I was able to get included in this group buy, gather my parts and assemble this amplifier- Thanks!!
Now on to the good stuff. During the blizzard that dumped 24" of snow this weekend, I was able to finish assembling the amp board and fire her up. WOW!! There is absolutely zero noise when the music is paused. SILENCE. None of the other chip amps that I have built are this quiet. I will give some break-in time before I start to really listen, but right from the start the sound quality is pretty darn good.
 
I had a minor setback today, I shorted out the positive 12v auxiliary power supply. D1 and the 7812 regulator fried and had to be replaced. Everything works now, i'll post some pictures tomorrow when it's back together.
