Incidently, I had a look at the 4th ed today. I have the 3rd ed too. I didn't buy it; the only new materials are Class D amp and DC servo. Only a small sections on DC servo and it's not as detailed and anayltical as other Self's classical writing.
Hope this helps |

hmm yes DS's book, whilst doing a great service to distortion mechs., is not very comprehensive in other areas, the updates are far too long coming, and still don't address those, I wonder why it takes him so long?
Whilst a great book, I do get the impression its 'this is the only way to do an amp, my way, and if its not a blameless amp, its rubbish' no treatise on other methods of stabilisation, nothing on other kinds of distortion: IMD, slewing types, I would like to see it as a complete treatise on amp design, sadly it falls short here. |

I'll probably buy it for the corrections etc. to the previous edition, rather than the new content...
