Well, all quiet on the Western Front. Can we go back to talking about audio design now? '-) Yes, it is still happening out there in the real world.
A real surprise is the new book put out by TAS: 'Illustrated History of High End Audio' that is surprisingly detailed with the history and practice of audio electronics design. It even shows schematics, not necessarily with the detail that an amateur could copy directly, but good enough to show the progress that we audio designers have made over the decades. Of course Nelson Pass and I are in there, but there are many others as well. It is expensive, but a fun read.
Thanks Nelson et al for sending me a copy.

I had the pleasure of writing of the ML-2:
The amplifier is still prized, and is perhaps the most collectible of all transistor amplifiers.

Happy you got your copy John a fun book with lots of history. Robert Harley did a superb job on the book IMO.
Thanks again, Wayne, Nelson, and Jam. I don't know if I would have ever gotten a copy on my own.
$108 for part 2 at this end, well worth it, Mr Curl.
(ordering it straight from TAS instead would have cost me close to $260, including shipping and taxes)
Sad ties, showing practically zero evolution from the old Roman saying: "Nobody became famous in their own village". Success is the one sin nobody will ever tolerate. There are too many who didn't make it for many reasons producing a wild wanna-be pool of grey.
The book is not some cheap paperback. It is fully and beautifully illustrated and is actually informative about audio design. For a 'hi end' sort of person it is a find. For someone who would not invest much in their hi fi, it is a joke. '-)

Other than Dan D not a great 'legend' collection. Of course IMO.
