But this amp is favoured by me for being small and large terminals and larger components is not going to help that. For people who can't work with tiny parts there's AMP6 which is entirely through hole. Today there's an even smaller AMP32, it uses ready made coils, so no winding necessary. The speaker outputs from the chip are not any bit thicker than the wire that fits in these terminals so is by all means sufficient. What I find most important is that it sounds very good, not only for the size. It is extremely low noise and low IMD, sound is neutral and precise. Even low frequencies are represented powerful yet dry. It has more resolution and staging than almost any other amp. All the amp32 amps I've built still work. I've built 28 of them and did the first one more than a year ago... Nice reading your review.

Soldering this requires a very powerful iron which also needs to have a fine tip. That’s a bit of an oxymoron." In my day, we soldered uphill in the snow - both ways! “If you’re going to use 2oz copper, have thermals! Soldering this requires a very powerful iron which also needs to have a fine tip.

Is there some noise, what the SNR .. etc .. Lot of people think that classD amp sound really bad. Bye (and keep on going !!!) What about sound capabilities ?

Would love to see you be a little more active and post more things like this. Maybe even expand it to include neat components that Make regulary talks about, such as the new Sparkfun GPRS+GPS module, etc. Great post!
