That audio amp has the lowest noise and distortion that I have ever heard. (Seen?)
As audiophiles say, its sound is very transparent! :lol:

Even if we could see its schematic, what is an amplifier's type?
1) Cheap or expensive?
2) Lousy or excellent?
3) Tooobes (valves) or solid-state?

We will just wait for its schematic to be attached then see that it is a Cmos inverter self-biased as a linear amplifier or sumpthin'

i found its data sheet
it is a Qusai AB type amplifier

will this circuit work?
i'll start working on it from tomorrow

can u explain its working a bit?
the 2 capacitors in parallel..what is it called?

As are the vast majority of transistor audio power amplifiers. The circuit you posted actually uses two amplifiers in a bridged configuration, to give twice the power to twice the impedance of a single amplifier.

I don't see why not?.

It's called two capacitors in parallel! :lol:

It's done because the decoupling effect of the large electrolytics will be less at higher frequencies, so adding a small non-electrolytic capacitor in parallel can improve decoupling at high frequencies.

The LM3875 is an excellent audio amp IC. Look at its product folder:
http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM3875.html
In the folder is a link to its datasheet that you should have. It has details about heatsinks and stuff. :lol:

dual power supply
how will i check my project at home?
i hav a dual power supply in univesity...
not at home....
ne shortcuts?
or how do i design a +-25 volt power supply?

Why use shortcuts when building an excellent power amplifier?
If its supply was a single polarity the the amp would need the problems of a huge output coupling capacitor.

Wait a minute! This is a bridged amp. It will work fine without an output coupling cap if you properly bias the inputs so it can use a single +50V supply. It might have a pretty big "bang" when it is turned on or off unless you plan to have its input coupling cap charge and discharge slowly.

I started reading all the artilces and comments about these "Gainclone" amps on the web. Some are hillarious.

The 2nd amp amplifies the distortion of the 1st amp, so maybe the 2nd amp should be inverting and get its input directly from the input. :lol:

Why is the very bottom resistor 24K?.

Hee, hee. :lol: What 24k resistor? :lol:
The original was wrong.

ok..i am making a dual power supply for it too
it'll earn me more marks

i found a schematic for it

if tht output is less than 25 say...23 or 22..will by power amp work?
or should i make a supply with a wider range? say till + - 35?
how can this one be improvised?
using a higer rating transformer?
ne other changes?

any way of improving it so tht it could work from +25 to -25?
You only need a very basic supply, just a center tapped transformer, something like 18-0-18 (bit too high) or 15-0-15 (bit too low), a bridge rectifer, and two large electrolytics.
