Folks,
Just completed my long pending Gainclone project.
I have used Peter Daniel's LM3875 premium gainclone kit, 300VA Toroid from Miracle, Quad 405 chassis with some of the old connectors changed to better ones.
Took nearly a day to complete including soldering, drilling, wiring and testing.
Playing extremely well. High, Mids and Lows are all there. No problem. Again no hum, no distortion and no switch on/off transients.
I am ofcourse using a ground to earth connection through a thermistor a-la Pass F5.
Never paid attention to others, when they were singing praises of a gainclone. Now I know. For it's simplicity, price and sound quality, I don't think there anything else to compare. Absolutely wonderful project for a DIYer.
The powersupply seems to have a lot of muscle to supply sudden requirements of current for bass and the amp is extremely fast with awesome attack and decay.
Will upload the pictures shortly.
Cheers.
Anil
