Decent chip for about 10W Pout

Why No LM1876 or LM2875/6 ( don’t remember the exact number

 

[NareshBrd]

1876 is the stereo version of 1875, may not be in production any more.
Mouser India has 40 in stock, lead time 77 weeks, some 1400 qty. is expected in December 2023.

The cheap boards all use copied chip amps, and they sound good, particularly if not driven hard.
Better ones are also available, and I for one se no point in obtaining a genuine TI 1875 for $7 (including shipping, for one chip), and the rest of the parts, and fitting it all on a PCB, which again is to be ordered, with all the resistors, capacitors etc.

Probably you're contradicting yourself.

NanoFarad / Nirupam, please tell us what test equipment you use to draw the sonic conclusions you claim.

My ears! The most valuable test equipment of my diy hobby! I trust them, you may not. I also hear clear difference between TL072A & NE5532A in a perfectly designed gain stage( good decoupling etc).
