[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 3242, member: 34"] Also interesting are the books by Douglas Self. These were first published as a series in Electronics World (Distortion in Power Amplifiers). Here is a link to his site [url]http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/ampins/ampins.htm[/url] I built an amp based on his Blameless approach. It is a basic Linn configuration, but his approach is to minimise distortion in each successive stage. IIRC, he has identified and categorised 8 sources of distortion. He discusses these, and ways to deal with them. I suppose it's nothing new to the seasoned audio engineer, but it was the first time I had seen the "secrets" of amplifiers discussed. Easy reading, as it's not too technical, and highly recommended if you're planning on designing your own. [/QUOTE]
