RE: Now...




I found a TDA3116 amp on the bay that has the two socketed 5532 chips and received it today.

I presume the chips and caps are all counterfeit so I ordered authentic (theoretically) versions of both from Digikey.

I will make the replacements and decide if it is worth trying the discrete component op amps.

The dern thing sounds pretty good right out of the box.

I got the "2.1" version, it has two TDA3116 chips, one is used for the 50wpc stereo outputs and the other TDA3116 is bridged on the board for 100wpc output to drive a passive subwoofer (there is a low pass filter on the board).

I have an HSU powered sub and I will try the chip amp subwoofer output with the HSU. IIRC the HSU has both low and high level inputs (have to pull it out of storage). My preference would be to use the amp built into the HSU but will have to see how that goes.
