Default Balanced Gainclone circuit

Hi! May I know about more about the "true" balanced gainclone circuit?
Where can I get the circuit?
Also, will it be better sound instead?
Thanks very much!

A non-inverted and an inverted gainclone...

Oh, no!

That's a BridgeClone. A balanced clone is made up from two identical circuits with the loudspeaker connected between the outputs. The inputs are driven by a balanced output from a preamp.

I'm working on it.
It will be formed by a couple of 3 paralleled devices in non-inverting mode.

I'm using a +-24V at supply rails.
It will be drived by a Pass' Balanced Line Stage at aprox 60V supply voltage.

Actually it's not finished so I can't tell you if it's better or not than the BridgeClone

I will use a 25dB feedback formed by high precision resistors so to avoid the use of servos, but I will also drill some additional vias to put one if needed.

HTH. Bye, Fabrizio

need to change R1 and R6 so their ratio is the same but the sum of their values is 10K (to match the input Z of the inverting side)

the input imedance of both paths is not equal. this prevents it from being balenced. it is differenetial input, thoguh. notcie the input impedacne of Vin- is R1 + R0, where the input impedacne of Vin+ is dependent on signal presented to Vin-.

I’m not exactly sure of the advantages/disadvantages of the two circuits I posted. Second one has matched + and – input impedance’s but the input DC biasing is not that good. Can anyone enlighten me on the subject. I guess the 3 opamp version will be the best of both worlds.
