Critics Review

“Self provides solid, well-explained technical information throughout the book, all gained from years of experience and a thorough understanding of the entire topic (…) His book exudes skilful engineering on every page, and I found it a very refreshing, enjoyable, and inspirational read (…) If you have the slightest interest in audio circuit design this book has to be considered an essential reference. Very highly recommended.”
