Conclusions

  LM1876 belongs to the "Overture" series, which differs from LM1875 in crystal circuitry, nevertheless, the "handwriting" harmonic distortion is very similar to LM1875. This amplifier also sounds very similar to the LM1875, which makes it an excellent choice for a quality sound path.

Summary: An excellent amplifier with very low distortion and high sound quality, which can be purchased from our store kit-amp.com. It is recommended to use this amplifier for low-power acoustics or full-range speakers. The module can also be considered as an alternative to the stereo amplifier on the TDA2030A STM or TDA2030A UTC
