Book Description

Publication Date: Dec 23 1997 | ISBN-10: 0750633565 | ISBN-13: 978-0750633567 | Edition: 1
The audio amplifier is at the heart of audio design. Its performance determines largely the performance of any audio system. John Linsley Hood is widely regarded as the finest audio designer around, and pioneered design in the post-valve era. His mastery of audio technology extends from valves to the latest techniques. This is John Linsley Hood's greatest work yet, describing the milestones that have marked the development of audio amplifiers since the earliest days to the latest systems.



Including classic amps with valves at their heart and exciting new designs using the latest components, this book is the complete world guide to audio amp design.

John Linsley Hood is responsible for numerous amplifier designs that have led the way to better sound, and has also kept up a commentary on developments in audio in magazines such as The Gramophone, Electronics in Action and Electronics and Wireless World. He is also the author of The Art of Linear Electronics and Audio Electronics published by Newnes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent survey of past and current audio amp designs Dec 18 1998
By Opti Mystic
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Audio Engineering History and Heritage May 3 2011
By Alvaro - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
