Who is this guy?

Have you guys read this?

http://www.hilberink.nl/amps/lm3875schema.htm

I don't know who this guy is, but he is constantly cutting down Thorsten Loesch through out the whole article. I think this is the first negative press I have seen on the chipamps.

Each to his own, some view Hans Hilberink as amusing.

I kind of like his article.

And agree most of the time

IMO, that's not the best way to present the article, but it does contain a lot of sound electrical truths. One would be wise to consider his points if building a chip amp. There are a few generalizations that bother me, but nothing far off base. Bottom line is, it's best to study the data sheets and application notes very carefully for any part one intends to use.

Another highly opinionated audiophile?

Thanks for the responses guys. So like always, try it for myself.

I didn't think he was all that far off in terms of opinion. He just has the manners of an imbecile that's all.

We all have that, heritage

maybe the guy i s not wrong, a friend of mine bought a chipamp from chipamp.com, put in some exotic components and still the sound was rather dull, I like my silly tamp better

Bashing to the left and bashing to the right.

Two things that would have made me respect the guy a little more.

1) If the marvelous design he gladly showed of with lots of pictures was soldered in a professional way. Those ringemitters look like they been glued to the board with pasta sauce.

2) If he actually cared to measure the LM3875 amp and execute some blind listening test to it as well.

I have listened to a LM3886 amp that was transparent in loopfeedback mode with Echoaudio Audiofire4 and Sennheiser HD600.

Also my solders looks way better than his!
