No global NFB or no NFB at all?

Hi Edmond,

Thanks!! I'll drink to that! I hope we can get together sometime and share one. I'll buy.

Actually, I covered both no global negative feedback and no negative feedback (e.g., local) at all (with the exception of emitter degeneration). Although I like negative feedback, those amplifiers present some very interesting technical challenges. In that respect, my hat goes off to Charles Hansen for doing such a fine job on his no-feedback MXR amplifier.

I also went over to the Dark Side, with four chapters on class D amplifiers :-).

Cheers,
Bob

Hi Edmond,

Not soon enough!

Can I tempt you to come to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in October? Many of the gang will be there.

Cheers,
Bob

Best regards,

Dear Bob,

I placed my pre-order on Amazon, like others did, at $26.40

Let's see what Amazon will do

I cannot wait to put my hands on the book. I'm 100% sure that I'll find a lot of answers to my naive questions!

Best regards,
Satoru

PS. I'll buy the book at $60. No question.

They've classified this book in two places - Acoustics & Sound, and PCs. Its popularity has risen to #2 in Acoustics and #4 in PC hardware. Go figure

Hi Bob,
Saw the thread, looked up the book, pre-ordered the book.
This looks like another classic must-have book!

I must thank you as well Bob, you've proved most of us are in fact literate. Simply shocking.

I see Mr Self has another book out also. That I'll have to save up for. No pre-release special or introductory pricing.

Hi Bob,

Although tempting, I'm afraid you can't persuade me, as by that time I'm in France.

Cheers,
Edmond.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the kind words. I thought you might be interested in seeing some of the book's back-cover text. This is a little more up to date than what is out there on the 'net. BTW, the book has 31 chapters.

Cheers,
Bob

I've pre-ordered now as well - $26 is not a bad price for a technical publication.

Just placed my order on Amazon.
