I recently found out that in 1997, John Atkinson of Stereophile referenced an article of me in Audio Amateur "Negative feedback - curse or blessing". I seem to support no one less than Martin Colloms! ;-)

 

     

I'm reading  "The crucible of consciousness - an integrated theory of mind and brain" by Zoltan Torey. Just after the first few pages something clicked in my brain...

 

Jean Hiraga's minimal amplifier: just one (1!) MOSFET: the Nemesis. I finished rebuilding this classic! 

    

New in My Library: TI's Ron Mancini has put together a nice guide to amplifier stability. Recommended!

 

       

All other T-reg stuff moved here.

 

Stop press! There is an error on the DN2540 plug-in board available through Elektor. One end of R3 is going nowhere - this should be connected to K2. My apologies, it is entirely my fault. Thanks John Lopez!

   

As noted, the T-reg is based on the MC1466L floating voltage/current reg chip, now obsolete. Interestingly, Gary Lecomte has developed a discrete version (pcb actually) of that MC1466L! (Thanks John O'Neill).

 

Change to the paX protection system: there is a small change that prevents premature firing of the protection circuits.

                 

I started a page of favorite quotes and other useless facts. If you want to contribute, mail me!

 

       

Enjoy!

Welcome to my place!

It’s great to have you here. Take a look around by clicking the links on the left. Stay as long as you like. By all means, ask if you don’t see what you need, or better yet, give me your opinion! Talk to me!

Reading Table what am I reading? Books or articles that I find interesting but have no bearing on audio (at least not directly...) 

What’s in a name is where I tell you who am I and what’s my drive when I design audio.

Been there, done that - I’ve done some designs and wrote some articles in the past which have been published.

Musings is a page where I muse about things that strike me and may or may not be relevant to audio.

My Library will lead to a list of articles that are classics and, in my opinion at least, significant to further our understanding of audio technology. They are meant for personal study only.

Good Stuff are links, documents and places of audio interest. It will change over time so come back once in a while.
