point to point wiring and LM3875 based gainclone amp

Mark has been hanging out in the kitchen and has put together the Gainclone amplifier shown below.


For the enclosure, Mark has used a heavy cast aluminum cooking pan and a massive wooden cutting board. The amplifier is based around the LM3875 chip (power opamp) and uses point-to-point wiring. The amplifier follows the "rigid and compact" approach of the 47 Laboratory Gaincard amplifier. A rigid enclosure is used to reduce resonance and vibration while a short signal path, feedback loop and minimal parts (compact) are used to preserve information. The schematic of the three resistor amplifier is shown below.
