I like this style very much.

Simple & elegant.

My first attempt at Gainclone amplifier using the LM3876T chip ...sounds very nice with Lowther DX-3 in Martin King's MLTL + Raven R-1 supertweeter + a pair of Eton 11-581 TL subwoofers.

Not as fancy as some of the other G-clones on this site, but does the job well enough for me.

There are two stereo amps in one chassis for bi-amping the speakers (one amp for the Lowthers and one for the Raven ribbons). This Gainclone has been upgraded with nice Panasonic FC and Sanyo Oscon capacitors and an Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer.

Very well done, only thing I would do diffirent is move the switches/pots, to the rear of the case (install a piece of angle stock), to shorten those signal wires, and use an extended shaft to the knob on the face...

Maybe tackle some of that black wireing with heatshrink and cable ties..

Nice photos and lots of equipment, just curious why is the power supply tricky?

I assume you like the Lowther best, I find at the end of the day, ie finally, you are making the Lowther 3 way!, I find FR is lacking in bottom and top end as well! That defeats the purpose of a FR. So I am now building a 2-way.

I enjoy looking at those photos, more importantly reading your brief descriptions.

cheers.

Yes, nice front panel. How/where did you do the printing?
