Hi all,
Paul here from The Netherlands. I will try to come up with some introduction right now.
I have been interested in electronics for a long time now.
Having been a computer nerd and maths enthousiast all my life, I got the advice to study electrotechnical engineering.
For several reasons I dropped out after the first year, but my interest was still there.
A few years back, actually just a few months before Covid-19 entered our lives, I wanted to pick up electronics again and stumbled into The Art of Electronics, and its practical friend Learning The Art of Electronics. I have been able to do the lessons of the latter at home with some help of its author. Without the intention of advertising: great way to learn about electronics!
Then I somehow got interested in audio amplifiers. The wonders of being able to play music after putting together just a few components on a breadboard made me think about pursuing this a bit more.
So I did some Googling and then found the name of Douglas Self, and his book on audio power amplifier design.
At the moment I am getting through it to understand the basics of an audio power amplifier, with the intent to build (at least 🙂) one myself.
Hoping to learn a lot from this great site!
Cheers,
Paul de Jong
