from noob to noob: links for research on parts, techniques etc.

Hi
Here are my few links to sites/pages/articles I found very useful when I was trying to understand the very nature of a PSU. (my research isn't over, by far not, but here's what I already have in my bookmarks):

• The safe way to building a Gainclone (chip amp) power supply for beginners. (link was provided by 6L6)
• Lightbulb tester, very important when powering up something for the first time, this one by 6L6
• generally, Elliot Sounds Products provides many great articles about almost whatever you need to know (diyaudio-wise)
• Linear Power Supply Design, by Elliot Sounds Products
• A Simple Capacitance Multiplier Power Supply For Class-A Amplifiers, by Elliot Sounds Products
• Calculating Required Capacitor (Capacitance) Value, @diyaudio / gotee
• (a product I found noteworthy)
• (another product I found noteworthy, support here @ diyaudio)
  

Others have other, better sources (mind to share?), but this should make for some brainfood...

Don't pass by a good book (not too old fashioned I hope???) like The Art of Electronics from Horowitz and Hill

Gold mine of information for people starting out.

Much, much more is on the pearl web site.

Oh yeah, forgot those 2.
First Watt (and Passdiy of course)

I looked after the Art of Electronics, it is really good, and Horowitz / Hill are 2 really nice persons! If you get to buy the book, I recommend to make sure you get the original one (others may be pirated). Really much much nicer "build", and the $ goes to the right people.
