Most of these are class D unless noted. I like class D most of the time.

National series

  • LM386 noise outdated analog pretty cheap inefficient class AB but not really cheap compared to better newer amps
  • LM4853 "Boomer" costs too much, love that product line name "Boomer" I mean ???
  • LM48560 piezo / haptic driver
  • TDA2005 -- I have a FutureKit that's been on my bench forever and I might replace it soon just to try out something else.
