This is my first DIY attempt.
Have been using AmpCamp(6W+6W) from long time, as my speakers are big (2*8-1/2 bass , 1*5 inch mid and tweeter) it couldn't able to justify the speakers.
From long time i have been searching for a suitable amp, but unfortunately couldn't get the amp in my budget. So decided to move to DIY
I don't have any experience about soldering or considering parts, measuring parts etc.
Could able to build the DIY DAC with the help of Raghu(for soldering),manniraj(for selecting parts etc), and finally be me (for getting the cabinet ready and connecting the cables between the pcb's).
While building the DAC i came to know the pain in DIY
, and got some contacts.
One day i came across the JLH 1969 amp and found that it is a little bit easy to make as the design is very simple and very less number of parts (complete kit is also available at a very less price). Complicated part in the amp is its heat dissipation, so required a bigger heat sinks and its tough to get locally (as per my contacts).
I decided to build this amp and purchased the from AliExpress, after receiving the kits i was thinking whether i should build or take the help of nraghunadh (who is always ready to help). At that time i didn't even had a soldering rod to solder
Took the kit to Raghu's place and asked him, can i try myself (luckyly he accepted yahoo
and thought me how to solder) he is my guru 
Finally completed soldering 2 boards (but took long time and did multiple times to solder properly, as was doing mistakes and corrected by guru)


Now the main toughest part me is to procure the heat sink for testing, luckily got one from a friend, but faced difficulty for drilling and tapping on heat sink.
Finally completed the mounting part too


Now the testing part is pending, as i want to power with smps (which is available ready)
Took the kit and heat sink to raghu's place and tried connecting, but it went in a big flop, after that i went home with full disappointment :sad:
Next tried by reconnecting the wires and got one 10ohms 2w resistor as guided by friend diyer.
Did as per his guidance and it started working :yahoo:
Parts replaced in the kit are input coupling capacitor (used ASC 2.0uf and the ELNA output capacitor of 4700uf 35v and rest are from the kit)
Listening impressions:
Vocals are good and prominent (which was concern in my speaker when connected to ampcamp) and the bass is controlled (it was lose with ampcamp)
as i could able to listen only a single channel, so could not comment more...
First of the movie is Done and second half will post soon...
Once again thanks for the for all who supported in my build...
Thanks for reading with patience and forgive me if my script is not readable/understandable
