Oldest to newest - left to right (The HiFi book arrived in the mail today)

If you don't have these books, you're just another nobody LoL

From what I've seen, you should be writing these not buying them.

I started to read the new book last night. Brought back memories of learning calculus and integrals, but in a fun kind of way.

Oh Merlin is the guy alright.

I only have the preamp book, so I guess I am not anyone.

Then again I have been doing design work for over 50 years already. I did like the preamp book, and were I not in the process of shedding my career baggage, I would be buying those other books too.

Good books by good authors like that are real assets in learning this stuff, but I have been training technicians for decades too, and I find that nothing teaches you a subject better than having to teach it to someone else. I sometimes think I got more out of my classes than my students did.

If Merlin is the Valve Wizard, den you da tube tech grandmaetsro king wizard Enzo. When is your book on designing tube power amps for electric guitars coming out? (Not to mention your book on tube effects for electric guitar amps?)
