Chipamp LM3886

Dual Mono Power Amplifier
by using National Semiconductor Overture Series LM3886

Also known as Gainclone Lm3886.
To be more into less coloration of sound reproduction, so I would go for a simpler dual mono circuit and no buffer whatsoever gain stage.
Leave the job to my DAC/buffer.
Since I don't like the sound reproduction from any more additional op-amp.

And...this will be self etching PCB project.


Here it goes~

The aluminium chassis.


Sketching... before drilling holes on it.


Gold plated speaker binding posts and 24k gold plated RCA terminals.


The PCBs
After etched and soldered.
Chipamp

Mundorf ZN 1uF input coupling.
Wondering Mundorf MKP 2.2uF or 4.7uF will do better than 1uF ZN?
In term of dynamic, sonic and...
Give some advice please. Thank you.

Amplifier circuit.

Power transformer/Power supply.

Panasonic TSUP 10,000uF x 2 reservoir.
