Just a little tip for all you guys building amps wit LM 1875
.
Having built an enormous amount of amps during my life, I thought I´d share a little secret with you. LM 1875, along with TDA 2020, 2030 & 2050 and a lot of others are meant to amplify sound, the downside is that they really don´t do that very well. Similar to LM 1875 National Semiconductors also manufacture the LM 675 T. It´s supposed to be an up to 4Ampere DC motorcontroller, the thing is, that given the right enviroment not very different to that of the 1875 it produces an almost heavenly tubelike sound, that if you´re careful with your surrounding components is actually high end.
Just thought I would share this. Let´s hear if anyone tries

it's just the same chip.
The equivalent circuit schematics shown in the Natsemi datasheets for the LM675 and LM1875 differ. The LM1875 has a more elaborate input section as well as output section, with a higher overall transistor count.
(It's possible that National is fibbing in the LM675 datasheet, and showing a simpler equivalent circuit. However, the specs differ - for instance, the quiescent current of the LM675 is lower than the LM1875, which is consistent with a lower transistor count.)
