Hi and LM3875 Gainclone

I'm Peter, from the Netherlands. Some 20 years ago I bought the basic LM3875 kit from Peter Daniel, intending to build the kit as dual mono with my 2 Hypex transformers ( with CT !! ). But these are not like the ones Peter uses and now I didn't know how to handle that. This and 149 pages of info on the kit ( AND other stuff Dac's and such ) on this forum was, at the time, a bit much to distill the needed info from. So it took me 20 years to complete this project. I read about different combinations and placement of caps, snubber, or not to snubber, zobel networks, or not and I got confused and stalled. But than I got a little help from a Dutch audioDIYforummember and was able to use the supplied PS pcb's. Decided to use the standard layout and bought a case and some stuff needed and started the build, which took let's say a week to build. I'm surprised at how good it sounds. It's so simple, so little components used, but sounds really nice. I'm using it with Fostex FE103e horns, I built myself. Really nice combo.
