5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent survey of past and current audio amp designs,
By Opti Mystic "Poco Loco" (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Valve and Transistor Audio Amplifiers (Hardcover)
Very clearly written survey of the art of audio amplifier design over the last 50 years. Covers early tube amps, including classic McIntosh, Quad, Williamson, Ultralinear examples as well as OTL designs. Superb review of evolution of transistor amps from early efforts evolved from tube designs, 60s quasi-complementary designs, 70s differential amps with full complementary output, 80s MOSFET applications. Many examples dissected, and plenty of theory but not a cookbook for making amps. Does overlap some of his earlier books, so if you have them you may not find a lot of new content. Overall, best current survey on this topic around, clearly written by an expert, a pleasure to read cover to cover if you are fascinated by audio amplifier design.

Audio Engineering History and Heritage,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Valve and Transistor Audio Amplifiers (Hardcover)
A must have if you want to know about the evolution and principles of audio amplifier design. Plentiful of historical notes and tecnological insights. Writen by one of those Britsh engineers like P. J. Baxandall and Peter Walker, that paved the way audio amplifier design is done today. Not really for beginners, but a pleasure to read.
