I've got some extras available, though I'm running short on inductors, including the big batch of Sagami ones I ordered from Jotrin.
Got everyone's boards built here, having a hell of a time getting mounting hardware, never expected getting #4 or M3 machine screws locally to be such a pain in the ***. Once that's all taken care of (within a couple days, I promise) I'll move onto selling off the extras and getting another buy on the go given enough interest.
I suspect my friend will want one when he hears mine.
^Gmarsh - count me in for a built 8 ohm pair.
Just let me know
Thanks Scott
Note: gmarsh's Wiener is stereo, so you don't need a pair unless you want/need two stereo amps.
It sounds fantastic, by the way.
Hey, I have not been following the Gmarsh build so this is news to me. Looks like a fine amp and glad the project was a success. The name wiener was coined for the Ybdz by who I forget but that was like 700,000 views ago so it's lost in the ether for those starting later. No big deal but we should distinguish the amps with Gmarsh Wiener vs Ybdz Wiener to keep things straight.
I really like my Chinese made Wieners - still use them as my amps with just the Oscons and bootstrap snubbers.

The YJ 2.0 boards seem to be all over he map in terms of cost, from as little as $13 to as much as $25 or more. Is there any difference between these? (Interesting that the $25 board looks like the connectors were all soldered about 5-10 degrees crooked)

$13 board is different than the other. See the red led? Also there is a diode close to ps pins.
I noticed something else at the descriptions;
$13 board;
New other (see details): A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear. The item may be missing the original packaging, or in the original packaging but not sealed. The item may be a factory second or a new, unused item with defects.
$25 board;
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.

Starbender, thanks for lending your powers of perception. I would have missed that completely.
Can't speak directly to the that exact model, but almost any laptop or LCD display power adapter with the right specs will do just fine. Don't need to worry about messing with raw AC that way either. I have an old Dell supply from a dead laptop, 19.5v, 4.6a, drives my amp very nicely with no detectable noise.
Has any body tried Jerry's 3116D2 board and if there are any reviews/ comparisons. Appreciate the help

Looks like a nice kit.

I notice a lot of you guys adding big electrolytics after the power supply
You should try and use a 1uf poly cap like Solen to bypass across those
It will greatly lower ESR and bring your detail back and clean it up a quite a bit.

Sometimes low ESR caps following a regulator isn't such a good thing, and actually creates more noise/ripple.
I have a pair of Cinemags on the way to use at input of tpa3116d2
Pretty excited to see what she sounds like after that.
I will report back.

Hi
I had a strange experience with two of my TPA3116 boards this evening. I tried one board with a 3 tube pre that I use to listen last year just to compare the sound with another one. As soon as i power on the amplifier it start with a strong an repetitive pop in right speaker only. I immediately disconnected the pre an power on the amplifier again. Unfortunately it continue with this behavior only. Doing once again with a new board (curiosity killed the cat 🙂 ) and I received the same result. The pre use to be in a good condition until now but now obviously is not working and killed my boards.
Any idea how to fix first the boards and then the pre?
Thank you!

You may have fried your input caps - try changing them. Or at lest measure them - they may be 0ohms now🙂 I recall a bad input cap makes a popping noise.

That looks like a nice ampnfor easy upgrades. Jerry makes nice stuff but wondering if bypass caps are as close as possible.
I wonder if one of the output coupling caps are bad on the preamp?
Or maybe a tube gone south
