Topic: gainclones diy anyone?

[JoeyGS]

Maybe anyone who has JojoD's BabyG or 75watt or 150watt/channel JDLabs gainclone, please help fishda get a taste of the gainclone.

Btw fishda whats your speaker and its specification?

anyone from commonwealth who can let me audition a gainclone? am really interested to hear the sound of this amp:)

[fishda]

not sure sir joey of the specs but it's a proac clone by sir anthony:)

[JoeyGS]

Tandang sora QC ako pero baka next month ko pa matapos gainclone ko eh..

[fishda]

same here. i live near tandang sora. just advise me sir when you get to complete your build.

my purpose btw is to get the best bang for the buck amp for music listening. i want something that sounds good but doesn't consume too much electricity because i'd like to listen to music a lot. i listen to lots of jazz and classical music.

any amp will do sir. i'm sure if it's from you it must sound good:)

Not really sir. Kanya kanyang preference.
Sounds like a plan to me this month! What's your speaker?

[JoeyGS]

It will really depend on which amp can drive your speaker properly so that it will sound good.  Class D or gainclone may be cheaper but the question is if it will be able to drive or match your speaker.

ahhh this was my first/old set up. Proac Clone + Jojo's BabyG. Mas madali pa idrive yung Dynes 42 kesa sa Proac Clone.

those proac clones have very low sensitivity, you'll need at least a 50 watter to make them sing at moderate levels. a stereo lm3886 with 25-0-25 vac transformer would be a good amp for those speakers.

but if your objective is not to consume too much electricity, better get klipsh or other high sensitivity speakers. more sound at less power.

[fishda]

i did think too that these are hard to drive. my fisher ca860 makes them sound just fine. i guess i'd have to wait for my luxman m02 from sir rene. would an lm3886 be an expensive amp?

[markcrenz]

^more than 2k only, plus an indefinite amount for the casing, depending on your taste and budget. the cheapest i think is 550 from deeco, while around 3k up for "audiophile casings" (note the qoutes, looks have nothing to do with sound quality).

the power traffo will set you back about 1000, the chips at 350(you can ask for free samples from TI), caps and parts another 500 or so...but the caveat here is that you do it yourself.....
