I found Brian Bell's LM1875 component values but no schematic. In brackets [ ] are the components I used in this build.

Reference: Brian Bell (Chipamp.com) LM1875 (schematic unknown)

Default configuration [components used in rabbitz build 2019]
R1 - not used (optional resistor to ground before C1) [not used]
R2 - 22k (input to ground resistor) [0.5W MF]
R3 - 1k (gain resistor , gain = 1 + R4/R [0.5W MF]
R4 - 22k (nfb resistor - on bottom of pcb) [0.5W MF]
R5 - 2.7 2w (optional - zobel network) [2R7 2W MF]
R6 - jumper (optional resistor between input ground and output ground) [not used, linked]
C1 - 2.2µF (optional input capacitor) [1uF MMK]
C2 - 22µF bipolar (optional) [Nichicon ES 22uF 25V]
C3 - 0.1µF (power supply decoupling) [ceramic X7R Vishay BC]
C4 - 47µF (power supply decoupling) [Nichicon KZ 47uF 50V]
C5 - 0.1µF (power supply decoupling) [ceramic X7R Vishay BC]
C6 - 47µF (power supply decoupling) [Nichicon KZ 47uF 50V]
C7 - 0.1µF (optional - zobel network) [MKT]
Note: 1K resistor after input cap not listed above but installed [0.5W MF]

As for a bare minimum configuration, here is what you could run:
R1 not populated
R2 22k (input to ground resistor)
R3 1k (gain resistor, gain = 1 + R4/R3)
R4 22k (nfb resistor - on bottom of pcb)
R5 not populated
R6 jumper
C1 jumper, or put input source into pad by C1 label on pcb
C2 jumper
C3 0.1µF (power supply decoupling)
C4 47µF (power supply decoupling)
C5 0.1µF (power supply decoupling)
C6 47µF (power supply decoupling)
C7 not populated

What would be the better component for C2, 330pF capacitor,

Vishay Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - Leaded 330pF 50volts 5% C0G 5mm LS

or

Murata Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - Leaded

yes ...rabbitz is right.
then you get short cables to the speaker terminals and a short way at input cable.
input coax RG178...inner cable is partly silver ;)

%product-title% kaufen


to be honest with the smps you could have the space for 4 amps inside - so you could go for bi amping (bi wiring) if your speakers can handle that.
i dont try this up to now....

This is what I mean with the pot extension shaft. Even though this is for a pre amp, it still applies for a power amp and you can see close RCA and short signal wires.

For short runs I just use twisted Cat5 but for longer I use Mogami W2944 which I discovered in a CF My Ref thread.
