Hello. I’m looking for a reference guide/s on amplifier design. I’m a scientific/engineering layperson interested in building my own amplifier from a simple kit such as the world designs kt 88 amp or one of Colin Wonfor’s transistor seca designs-I’m in the uk. Obviously valve and transistor circuit design are 2 separate disciplines, so my learning progression probably needs to look some like this:
1) Acquire sound basic knowledge of principles of amplification.
2) learn how these relate to different applications in audio reproduction.
3) Learn how these relate to a specific amplifier design in detail (likely either valve or class a transistor at the point).
4) build relevant kit.
I realise that from the point of view of a professional in these areas the term ‘basic knowledge’ may imply acquisition of a 1st degree in electronic engineering, I’m aiming lower than that-just enough to get me off of the ground and to make building a simple amp a safe a rewarding learning experience.
Advice appreciated!
