Thanks! My copies finally arrived today as well. First time I've seen it in print. I'm very pleased with the job they did. If you like it, I would deeply appreciate a few words in a review on Amazon
.Cheers,
Bob
Got this from Amazon when I enquired why my order that I placed in January had not shipped yet.

You get a free book like me
I had Purolator at the door today and I missed them, damn, they had a box for me, assume it was the book since I do not have anything else ordered.
Phoned Purolator and arranged for delivery tomorrow again and was advised to leave a note on my door, dated and authorizing them to leave the package without signature.
I looked at my Visa statements, I have not seen any charge to my account as of today.
Looked on Amazon.ca, selling the book through an number of channels, some with the 15% discount, some without, some being sold as used?

No free book for me high hopes for sure on that one, I get a free test from the drug company instead oh well.
I was hoping to get the book so I could show it along with the BC-1 & DH-220C design's that I put together, thanks to Bob. The Toronto DIYaudio meetup/BBQ is this Sunday. I'll show it anyways, I never did put any in a proper chassis, just show and tell, measurements, no music for now.
Anyone get to the new chapter 4 yet? It is a good read when it all comes together.

Noiseless resistors in LTSpice
In the latest version of his book, Bob shows using a transconductor to make a noiseless resistor. I had this vague notion that LTSpice had another way that I had used in the past...
This url describes appending the word noiseless after the resistor value to make a noiseless resistor.
Noise Analysis Using LTspice Tutorial
Sure enough...it works great! Lots of hidden stuff in LTSpice...
BTW Bob ---I'm certainly enjoying reading your latest magnum opus! Wow! Congrats!

Large article in this morning (June 24) NYTimes describing the counterfeiting going on with Amazon books.
What Happens After Amazon’s Domination Is Complete? Its Bookstore Offers Clues - The New York Times
But Amazon takes a hands-off approach to what goes on in its bookstore, never checking the authenticity, much less the quality, of what it sells. It does not oversee the sellers who have flocked to its site in any organized way.
That has resulted in a kind of lawlessness. Publishers, writers and groups such as the Authors Guild said counterfeiting of books on Amazon had surged. The company has been reactive rather than proactive in dealing with the issue, they said, often taking action only when a buyer complains. Many times, they added, there is nowhere to appeal and their only recourse is to integrate even more closely with Amazon.
