re "The sound of silence"

[jez]

I read here on DIY audio about this book being readily downloadable just last night, there was also some discussion of the contents of the book in this thread (it's about RIAA phono stage design apparently).
I followed the links and downloaded the book but Adobe reader says the files are corrupted and it needs to shut down. I found other mirror sites for the book but the same happens.
Does anyone know where a working copy can be downloaded?
I recall that "Lineup" said in this thread that he had put it on his server for download but I now can't even find any reference to the original thread

OK scratch that......I tried using a different PC and no problem! Still don't know why one PC worked fine and the other didn't😕
Windows.....don't ya just love it

Thanks Lineup! That pdf article is very interesting🙂

Forgot where I got it from myself now....😉

Equation 7.59 in the 2nd edition is missing the term, grid load resistor noise density, as the author state that the input is shorted and Rg=0 ohms. The Mathcad worksheets in Chapter 12 show all the terms.
