Found an amp, thanks a lot!

I've been interested in trying a well-implemented chip amp for a while now, but I have too many projects I'm in the middle of and have too little actual amp-building experience to build my own right now. I missed a couple of good deals on a Dal Audio amp and another DIY amp recently, and now I'm really wanting to try one.

Basically anything that has a linear power supply and not-terrible parts is of interest to me. Hoping for under $200. DIY is fine as long as it's in a chassis. Would consider TPA3116/similar based amps as well.

I've got an LM 3875 amp with a proper linear power supply sitting in it's box in the garage.  It uses Chip Amp dot com boards, good (but nothing exotic) parts, and is in a full sized but plain looking chassis (i.e. DIY).  It works like a champ, and I was hanging on to it because it sounds good and I don't have much money in it... but I have 3 power amps and one integrated right now and I only have one system.  I'd let it go for $150 plus shipping.  Let me know if you are interested and I'll take some photos and send them along to you.
