New and need some audio advice on installing an amp.
Daffypuck:
I got a little 2 channel amp that puts out 20w RMS and hooked it up today. I also added a beefier speaker and the sound is so much better now. Im just disappointed that the Game Elf doesnt have a stereo output. Kind of defeats the purpose of trying to emulate old arcade games if you cant even get the sound somewhat close to what we were used to in the old days.

Glad to hear that it improved the sound.
On some multi boards its just bad sound in the emulation.
as far as stereo sound goes, remember, those classic games didn't have stereo sound either.

I think that newer boards has a stereoplug output: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eB-fWCF0L._SX300_.jpg
But that doesn't help you much.
Many of the old classics didn't have stereo output, and the speakers was generally not that "hi-fi" either.

True, a lot werent that HI-FI, but on the other hand, there were many that sounded really good.
