Description
Starting with lucid descriptions of the parts involved (resistors, capacitors, inductors, tubes, and transistors), the author then begins joining them together to form circuits offering the reader an accessible approach to linear electronics design. Focusing mainly on audio amplifiers, the book features two of Linsley Hood's classic designs which have become popular with the DIY crowd. Includes excellent coverage of amplifiers, oscillators, power supplies, filters, and feedback using clear examples and easily solved equations.
