About the Book
Baxandall and Self on Audio Power has three sections:
Section One is Peter Baxandall’s six Wireless World articles from 1978/1979. These focus on feedback and stability in power amplifiers, and are an excellent and compact overview of all the issues and solutions in making a very linear and stable power amp.
Section Two is Douglas Self’s series of eight articles from Wireless World 1993/1994. These articles focus on the various types of distortion in power amplifiers, and how to minimize each of them. This is the article series that resulted in the ‘Blameless Amplifier’ concept.
Section Three contains 35 pages of typewritten comments from Peter to Douglas’ articles, and contains many hand-drawn graphs and schematics. This is material that has never been published before and offers a fascinating insight in Baxandall’s way of thinking and his knowledge.
Baxandall and Self on Audio Power can be ordered from www.linearaudio.net as of now. Back issues Linear Audio Vol 0 and Vol 1, as well as the latest Vol 2, are also available.
