Sorry, was replying at the same time as you.
Rapid actually have LM386M-1 and LM386N-1 on the same page as the one ive just been looking at and it seems to be pretty much the same thing but cheaperThe diagrams actually look simpler too.
What exactly is the gain? Is that how many times more you get out than what you put in? Is it Volts or Amps or both?
Edit: It appears that the N and M determine the package type. Looks like i best get N. Ive already made that mistake once :P
