5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading for the audio designer!, September 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Self on Audio (Paperback)
Without a doubt, Douglas Self's articles in EW&WW magazine are among the most thorough and insightful writings on power amplifier design. This book brings together some of the best technical articles on power amp design in one handy reference. Whether or not you agree with his opinions, if you are serious about audio amplifier design, you owe it to yourself to have at least one copy of Mr. Self's work in your library.
As many before me have stated, Self's articles on "Distortion in Power Amplifiers" are essential reading for any power amp designer. "Self on Audio" contains the complete series of these articles, in addition to a wealth of other excellent articles taken from EW&WW over the years, making this book an indispensible reference. Highly recommended!

Good Book - Bad printing, May 12, 2008
This review is from: Self on Audio (Paperback)
I originally read this book at the library and it was excellent. On the copy that I received from Amazon I could not read the values of the components in the schematics on pages 280, and 306-307. These are schematics of complete amplifiers that you can build. The quality of the printing has gone south. I am sure that Doug Self would send me good copies of these pages if I had a way of contacting him.
