Book excerpt: Small Signal Audio Design is a highly practical handbook providing an extensive repertoire of circuits that can be assembled to make almost any type of audio system. The publication of Electronics for Vinyl has freed up space for new material, (though this book still contains a lot on moving-magnet and moving-coil electronics) and this fully revised third edition offers wholly new chapters on tape machines, guitar electronics, and variable-gain amplifiers, plus much more. A major theme is the use of inexpensive and readily available parts to obtain state-of-the-art performance for noise, distortion, crosstalk, frequency response accuracy and other parameters. Virtually every page reveals nuggets of specialized knowledge not found anywhere else. For example, you can improve the offness of a fader simply by adding a resistor in the right place- if you know the right place. Essential points of theory that bear on practical audio performance are lucidly and thoroughly explained, with the mathematics kept to an absolute minimum. Self’s background in design for manufacture ensures he keeps a wary eye on the cost of things. This book features the engaging prose style familiar to readers of his other books. You will learn why mercury-filled cables are not a good idea, the pitfalls of plating gold on copper, and what quotes from Star Trek have to do with PCB design. Learn how to: make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion use humble low-gain transistors to make an amplifier with an input impedance of more than 50 megohms transform the performance of low-cost-opamps build active filters with very low noise and distortion make incredibly accurate volume controls make a huge variety of audio equalisers make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics, by using load synthesis sum, switch, clip, compress, and route audio signals be confident that phase perception is not an issue This expanded and updated third edition contains extensive new material on optimising RIAA equalisation, electronics for ribbon microphones, summation of noise sources, defining system frequency response, loudness controls, and much more. Including all the crucial theory, but with minimal mathematics, Small Signal Audio Design is the must-have companion for anyone studying, researching, or working in audio engineering and audio electronics.

Book excerpt: Linear Audio Vol 0 is our first printed bookzine dedicated to technical audio and perception. This first issue has more than 12 insightful articles by an international team of authors: Solid State: Nelson Pass comes up with a tribute to the single ended triode power amp by replacing hollow state with silicon carbide in The Arch Nemesis*, while Douglas Self cuts through the confusion and handwringing by showing how Inclusive Compensation can be successfully applied. Joachim Gerhard goes Down the Rabbit Hole to get the lowest MC-preamp noise this side of liquid helium cooling*. Tube technology: Air Polisois extends his DC-coupling and Common Transformer developments in the deceptively simple Mini-Simplex, while Stuart Yaniger gives you the definite deal on The Truth about the Humble Cathodyne. Meanwhile, Frank Blohbaum shows you A New Low-Noise Circuit Approach for Pentodes with his BestPenthode circuits. Loudspeakers and perception: Jean-Claude Gaertner embarked on a wide-ranging project for an active 4-way, DSP driven, remotely controlled system Project21. The first part describes the satellites. Siegfried Linkwitz contributes his landmark paper on STEREO - From live to recorded and reproduced - What does it take? - this should be the basis for many a discussion of what is and what is not possibly in stereo, and why. Test Equipment: Bob Cordell developed his Distortion Magnifier, a simple add-on to any distortion measurement setup increasing the resolution by 20 or even 40dB*. Book reviews: Andy Bryner reviews Douglas Self's latest opus Small Signal Audio Design and likes what he reads, while Bob Cordell's Audio Power Amplifier Design is waiting in the wings to be revealed. Tips & Tricks: If, like Ed Simon, you have more ic's and transistor types than you can keep track off, you'll love his IC holder notebook. Musings: Rene Wouda asks "Do you remember your first single?" . A bit tongue-in-cheek but thoughtful nevertheless.

Book excerpt: Linear Audio Vol 5 is the sixth issue of a series of printed bookzines dedicated to technical audio and perception. TutorialsHow do you size those snubbers across rectifiers - and do they work at all? Morgan Jones decided to find out and found some unexpected answers in Rectifier snubbing - background and Best Practices. After years of trying to recreate the Big Bang, Erik Margan returned to audio to tell all about Interconnections in Audio. Pierre Touzelet completes his investigations in transformers writing On stray capacitances in audio transformers. TechnologyNot everyone is convinced that SACD really sounds better than red book CD. Hans van Maanen is, and he presents investigations and findings to back up his experiences On the audibility of "high resolution" digital audio formats and how to test this. Circuit designAn RIAA corrected preamp is fine for contemporary vinyl, but for recreating the sound of 100 years old discs and cylinders, you need An Archival Phono Preamplifier - and Gary Galo designed one. After exploring the F-word, Bruno Putzeys is back with the next letter in the alphabet: The G-word, or How to Get Your Audio off the Ground - providing insight and Best Practices for clean audio. Circuit design can be fun, and sometimes the challenge also lies in making do with what you happen to have available, as shown by Rob Scheepens in The parts bin headphones amplifier. Tone controls are sometimes eschewed by purists, but Douglas Self shows that this is unwarranted and that you can design flexible, transparent and effective tone controls in A low-noise preamplifier with variable-frequency tone controls. System designHow do you increase your enjoyment of reproduced audio if your whole system has already been optimized? Use High Frequency Reverberation for finer sound reproduction says Richard Burwen. Speaker ClinicRather than designing a speaker from the ground up, Lennart Jarlevang accepted The Small Speaker challenge to improve on what was already a well-regarded product. The Way I see it...Our columnist Stan Curtis addresses that seemingly unresolvable dichotomy between what sounds best to you and objective technical performance. His Listening to paradoxes delves a little deeper in the underlying issues. Book reviewStuart Yaniger reviews Oliver Masciarotte's To Serve and Groove and finds both strong and less so points.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronics for Vinyl is the most comprehensive book ever produced on the electronic circuitry needed to extract the best possible signal from grooves in vinyl. What is called the "vinyl revival" is in full swing, and a clear and comprehensive account of the electronics you need is very timely. Vinyl reproduction presents some unique technical challenges; the signal levels from moving-magnet cartridges are low, and those from moving-coil cartridges lower still, so a good deal of high-quality low-noise amplification is required. Some of the features of Electronics for Vinyl include: ● integrating phono amplifiers into a complete preamplifier; ● differing phono amplifier technologies; covering active, passive, and semi-passive RIAA equalisation and transconductance RIAA stages; ● the tricky business of getting really accurate RIAA equalisation without spending a fortune on expensive components, such as switched-gain MM/MC RIAA amplifiers that retain great accuracy at all gains, the effects of finite open-loop gain, cartridge-preamplifier interaction, and so on; ● noise and distortion in phono amplifiers, covering BJTs, FETs, and opamps as input devices, hybrid phono amplifiers, noise in balanced MM inputs, noise weighting, and cartridge load synthesis for ultimately low noise; ● archival and non-standard equalisation for 78s etc.; ● building phono amplifiers with discrete transistors; ● subsonic filtering, covering all-pole filters, elliptical filters, and suppression of subsonics by low-frequency crossfeed, including the unique Devinyliser concept; ● ultrasonic and scratch filtering, including a variety of variable-slope scratch filters; ● line output technology, including zero-impedance outputs, on level indication for optimal setup, and on specialised power supplies; and ● description of six practical projects which range from the simple to the highly sophisticated, but all give exceptional performance. Electronics for Vinyl brings the welcome news that there is simply no need to spend huge sums of money to get performance that is within a hair’s breadth of the best theoretically obtainable. But you do need some specialised knowledge, and here it is.

This book was released on 2006-08-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectral analysis requires subjective decisions which influence the final estimate and mean that different analysts can obtain different results from the same stationary stochastic observations. Statistical signal processing can overcome this difficulty, producing a unique solution for any set of observations but that is only acceptable if it is close to the best attainable accuracy for most types of stationary data. This book describes a method which fulfils the above near-optimal-solution criterion, taking advantage of greater computing power and robust algorithms to produce enough candidate models to be sure of providing a suitable candidate for given data.

Book excerpt: This extensively reworked 2nd edition of the book includes ten new chapters. It also features an updated discussion of simulation software tools, covering topics such as simulating complex and / or expensive amplifier structures with the free LTspice software by developing a broad range of additional simulation models, especially those for triodes and transformers. The book adopts the structure used in The Sound of Silence books, with the first part, Basics - Calculations and Simulations, providing deep simulation-triggered insights into the gain and noise mechanisms of differential amplifiers, BJTs, resistors, and triodes. The second part then discusses the RIAA Phono-Amp Engine II, describing all the necessary design, simulation, calculation, construction and measurement processes for this multi-functional MC amplifier. The third part, Knowledge Transfer, presents new ideas on draft designs of the linear low-noise MC input stages (also an extremely low-noise one) and a range of practical measurement tools. Additionally, it includes a chapter on MM amplifiers and their noise production, and offers some surprising solutions. The brand new and extensive chapter on all the simulation models developed and used in the book rounds-out the voyage through the jungle of compromises, allowing best-in-class balanced MC phono-amplifiers to be produced. Lastly, the book also features an extensive index, and free downloads of all Mathcad worksheets are available on Springer's Extra Materials website (extra.springer.com).
