Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@rolox This is music to my ears! Where do you buy these amplifiers? I live in France.

@dekay You’ll laugh but the artisan’s workshop had a bunch of noisy neon lights. The artisan told me that he couldn’t hear them anymore. Thanks for the advice. Musical Fidelity sells the V90 amp new for 350€. The reviews seem kinda mixed. Everyo... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
I understand what you're saying. You went to a reputable company, not some guy. Some guy convinced me that he could build a wonderful amplifier for me and that I could see him anytime if I have issues. In essence I paid for the same things you pai... 
suggest a low budget amp for Pro-ject Box 5 speakers.
You can find I'm considering doing the same as the OP. I'll happily buy a used NAD amp like the 316 BEE for around 150€~250€ where I live. It's a similar story with Atoll, Marantz, Cambridge Audio and Yamaha amplifiers. You'll spend at least 2x or...

In summary, yeah. I would gladly spend 500€ or 1000€ on a good class A/B amplifier afterwards. Something without surprises. But the situation is hairy. This guy doesn't want to back down. He's insistent on his abilities which I don't care for anym...

Hey man, just bring your speakers and some cable when auditioning the amps. Nothing suggests a bad pairing.

News update: I brought the amplifier back to the artisan.I told him about the annoying hum. He told me that he thought I would never notice. He told me that the issue is due to the AC current feeding the circuit. He said that he could make the am...

The amplifier was tested at the artisan's shop with an old CD player and older speakers for testing. It was still hissing but less. I previously had a Yamaha RN402 with the OGY and no problems. The RN402 is run of the mill class A/B from Yamaha.  ...

Yeah I just think that the amp isn’t built very well and that it’s crazy noisy. It doesn’t seem to bother the artisan. I essentially flushed 1800€ down the toilet. The tubes are JJ and new. I don’t want to go down a rabbit hole of spending more mo...

I have Bluesound Node + Ogy speakers + hissy tube amplifier   
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
News update: I got the amplifier back. It still has a hiss. But it disappears when music plays. It's still a little bit louder than I'd like and you can still hear that hiss on very quiet tracks. It's way more manageable now. I'll buy an A/B ampl...

The OGY are 8 Ohm 15W.  I heard the Unison Research Simply Italy in a shop and it was perfect. I was blown away.  I wanted to save money by having the artisan build a clone. Now I feel like an idiot. Another shop recommends Fez Audio but I didn't... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
Thanks. I'll retrieve the tube amplifier this weekend. I'm praying that it won't hiss. If all goes well I'll stay put. No need to spend more money on audio haha.  I'm still curious about other people's opinions on cheap class D amps compared to c... 
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
