FS: VERY NICE Gainclone amplifier

[ryan24]

This Gainclone amplifier is based on chipamp.com's 1875 boards, and is in great condition and used very little. As you can see it has separate housings for the power supply and the amplifier, this adds in noise reduction. The power supply uses a Avel Lindberg Avel Y236502 160VA 18V+18V Toroidal Transformer and I added the ground protection circuit shown in the attached diagram. The amplifier is integrated an has a 3 input selector and a Alps volume control unit. I also used an oversized 6" x 3" x 2" heatsink for the chips. This unit has been used in a pet, child and smoke free listening area and has zero blemishes, and most importantly it sounds great! I am asking 200. Please let me know if any questions.

Price Edit: $175.00 and I will pay shipping

Hey Ryan,

Could you post some performance specs on your Gainclone Amplifier?

Thanks,

Bob

Re: FS: VERY NICE Gainclone amplifier

Sure I will do my best...

The secondaries run at 20V without load, this gives 28 Watts at idle. Under a load the secondaries measure 18V to 19V, which gives 25 to 26 continuous Watts of power under an 8 Ohm load.

I am told that the distortion level is .015%, you can turn the volume knob to max with no music playing and no hiss can be heard even with your ear right next to the speaker.

Hope this helps.

Ryan

Ryan,

That is a nice-looking amp. What enclosures did you use? I like the idea of separate enclosures for the PSU and the amp components. If I were to build one of these, I'd probably do the same thing, and use a pair of Neutrik PowerCon connectors to provide the ability to separate the two chassis.

Bob,

Did you end up buying the amp? How does it sound?
