Not commenting specifically here on the 'gainclone' or 3875. However where
amplifiers have a lot of gain extending to HF you may find that the details
of all the looming of the wires may be critical to control both stability
and distortion. For this kind of reason, I'd be wary of recommending to
those without suitable HF kit and experience amps that may give rise to
problems in such areas unless they can precisely duplicate every detail of
a given wiring loom that is known to be OK.
