hello, currently in my last year in EE bachelor program. did some computer science and much prefer working with analog signals but I am fairly more proficient with digital stuff even though I did more EE because well analog is harder.
anyway been getting started working on audio projects at home. amplifiers power supplies and even speakers. I have been accumulating components to prototype whatever thing I find in a book so I keep a continuous learning path
I just ordered my first modern book of amplifier design and its Audio Power Amplifiers: Towards Inherently Linear Amplifiers by Mr Arto Kolinummi
its not as common as the Self and Cordell books but I saw it get some recognition. I will probably get the Cordell book soon too but I dont think Ill be getting the small signal analysis book I learned quite enough about that in school and its confusing to say the least. just a lot of theory
I have some older books from online that are out of print and some older design books I bought. its very useful in my opinion to see the different design ideologies as nobody is going to explain everything so you might get a bit of information from every author.
did some simple stuff in my design lab course like a really simple LM386 amp circuit with a jfet op-amp pre-amp for a microphone but thats about it. I would like to believe im not an idiot that doesnt know how things fundamentally work but obviously real world results are very different. gonna be a lot of trial and error and experience
any less known book recommendations?. any tips. either way I probably wont be here too frequently because I usually look up information or exist on reddit about this. but might ask a few questions.
