About this Item

Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

The international team of authors for this issue again offers technical audio articles on a wide ranging number of subjects, from tutorials to circuit design to projects and concepts to book reviews:Guest Editorial:Renowned designer Richard Burwen explains why Audible tweaks that cannot work in your system can nevertheless cause audible differences at listening tests.Tutorials: Richard Lyons explains How Discrete Signal Interpolation Improves Digital-to-Analog Conversion, while Patrick K. walks us through the Design Considerations for a Class A Amplifier Enclosure with regards to thermal and vibrational aspects.Circuit Design: Richard Marsh develops a high-quality buffer and amplifier for headphones and en passant tells how to equalize it for your ears with simple means in A Headphone Buffer/Amp and Auto-EQ for headphones; Steven van Raalte has a very clever design for compensating for mechanical resonance in both replay cartridges and loudspeaker drivers in Correcting transducer response with an inverse resonance filter; Sigurd Ruschkowski, motivated by Erno Borbely, shares his Passive, Discrete, DC coupled, Open Loop IV Converters. Finally, Scott Wurcer is back with his long-awaited DIY Low-noise Microphone Preamplifiers Part II.Loudspeakers: Robert Munnig Schmidt details how to design a THX©-conforming subwoofer in A Mechatronic Approach to active subwoofer design.Instrumentation/Test Equipment: Ramkumar Ramaswamy is back with A Universal Simulated Power Inductor for quick and easy filter and cross-over development; Samuel Groner designed A low noise laboratory-grade measurement preamplifier for very low level signal and noise measurements.The Way I see it:Stan Curtis, who for decades has shown that he knows how to design audio equipment that excels at that ultimate test – Good Sound, chimes in with the first installment of a regularly column. In Audio Design moves forward – or does it he highlights the different states of the art between analog and digital design – and notes that still lots of work has to be done.Book reviews: Stuart Yaniger reviews Morgan Jones’ latest tome, the 4th edition of Valve Amplifiers, while Ovidiu Popa reviews the 2nd edition of Burkhard Vogel’s The Sound of Silence. While very different books, both reviewers conclude that each deserves a spot on the serious designer’s book shelf.Jan DiddenPublisher/Editor
