NJSwede reporting

Hi!

I'm NJSwede. I'm originally from Sweden and live in New Jersey, USA. Not too surprising, I know.

Although I don't work with electronics for a living (I'm a software guy), I like to say that I pretty much grew up in an electronics lab. My dad worked for Ericsson and designed some of the cell phone and cell tower chips you've all used thousands of times. So electronics was a very common dinner conversation topic. Now in my 50s, I decided to take up electronics as a hobby a bit more seriously and one thing led to another, and I started getting into amplifier design. Now I'm totally addicted to it and literally dream at night about amplifier topologies. I like to design and build things from scratch and so far I've designed and built an experimental from scratch Class D amplifier and a couple of blameless-style Class AB and I think I'll get the hang of it once I have a few dozen under my belt. 🙂 No, but seriously, the latest one sounds pretty good.

I live in a small town in New Jersey with my wife, two teenage kids, four dogs and a bunch of other animals. When I'm not busy with family, animals and amplifiers, I love to go for long (and by long I mean 200km and above) bike rides. Yeah, lack of activities isn't my biggest problem. Finding time is.

I'm a bit of an audiophile skeptic which tends to annoy some people. So my preemptive apologies for believing things like human hearing maxing out somewhere at 20kHz. 🙂

I joined this site because the quality of the content and the knowledge of the users seems a few notches above other communities. While I tend to have problems keeping my blabbering mouth shut, I'm mostly here to listen and learn.
