This is one sweet amplifier. And since these amp boards are so cheap, I just ordered the green board from eBay seller audiobah (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amplifier-board ... 25903efbda).

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for the necessary components for my phono pre power supply. It will be interesting to see if the difference between the amp boards are as great as many claim.

The beast is alive!!! At last, working TPA3116 amp using a black board. Strangely, no pops at switch on - did have initially, but that was an issue of 28awg wires breaking. Replaced with 18awg, and no further issues. Thanks Skrodahl for the log volume control instructions - mine is not as elegant as yours, but it works. Waiting for delivery of the linear log pot for balance, then it is finalised (but currently working beautifully).

Christened TBA (The Bloody Amplifier) as I cut myself again while building - this follows up on TBC (The Bloody Cables) which are DIY interconnects, also with some blood loss due to inefficient use of a scalpel.

Interested to hear you have ordered the Audiobah board, Skrodahl - I am contemplating the original red board which is cheaper, and has quite a following on the Audiokarma site too.

How is your project coming on, Downunder55?

What are your names anyway.

Peter you could build a audiophile business on the blood thing, taking it as the new snake oil

EDIT - @skrodahl and @Peter: what about entering your project in the organized by Instructables and RadioShack? There are some to be won. We could apply with , but there is no hardware tinkering involved in that, so it's a bit out of context.
