RE: The Very Best LM3875 Gainclone

All "Gainclones" are just like almost all cables - colored to some degree. What is "best" in one system won't be "best" in another system. If you are getting "incredible sound", then don't worry - be happy. Anything else is just "audiophile nervosa".

On the other hand if you are impressed by spectacular sound but not finding yourself "lost in the music", then I would look for something besides a "Gainclone". I would guess that an old Dyna Stereo 70 would do that better than a "Gainclone" - but it won't have that "spectacular" detail and so forth. To get it all will cost more than a "Gainclone" or a used Stereo 70. It's just a matter of what works for you and fits into your financial priorities.
