The Super Gain Clone
The Super Gain Clone stereo amplifier is based on the National Semiconductor LM3886 Integrated Circuit power amplifier chip. Its features are summarized here:
- 40 Watts per channel into 8 ohms from LM3886 devices
- LM3886's operated in inverting mode for best performance
- Inverting input buffer stage provides overall non-inverting amplifier
- Audio-grade DC servo control of output offset voltage
- No output coupling capacitor to degrade sonics
- No input stage feedback return capacitor to degrade sonics
- No electrolytic capacitors in the signal path
- High input impedance
- Adaptive soft clipping (Klever Klipper ) ahead of the feedback loop
- The amplifier-proper never clips
- Extra input-path RFI filtering
- Conjugate-matched pi output network for exceptional RFI immunity
- Torroidal air core output inductor for HF stability without sonic degradation
- Heavily snubbed and bypassed power supply with 60,000 uF per rail
More details of the design will be described soon.
