DIY amp

[FNG212]

Didn't know if this should go here or DIY section but: Has anyone ever build their own amp, stereo or otherwise? Someone mentioned it in passing on another forum and I just thought I'd ask here.

Is it possible to get the same performance out of DIY amps as it is DIY speakers/subs? At what point is DIY not feasable? I can't imagine someone could build their own receiver, or even a CD/DVD player?

Build your own amp, yes. But building your own receiver or CD/DVD player, much more tricky without the resources and royalties to pay at the big shots (for the DSPs, Dolby, DTS, DSD: Sony, HDMI protocols, etc., etc., etc.).

* And I bet that you'll find more info on the DIY threads.
