got mine a couple days ago. took a couple hrs to browsed thru it.....
amazingly great handbook.....reminds me of the old 'op-amp cookbooks', but for guitar amp application...almost a 'guitar/bass amp cookbook'....all we need now is the power amp 'cookbook' LOL
combined w/ Randall Aiken's data....this is about all you need
and no goddamned 'ooga booga'
5 star rating....absolutely essential if you want to 'roll yer own'
Don't overthink it. Just drink it.

Mine showed up today. Much easier on the brain than my series of books from Richard Kuehnel.

Im ordering the ebook on designing power supplies as well Martin. The discount code applies too. Good deal on both books. All together it came to just under $44 bucks.
I was actually ready to pay full price tonight but ran into the discount code on this thread just before I went to order it. 8) :)
Tribi9,

Is the ebook that you bought simply an Adobe pdf file? Will I be able to open it on an ordinary computer as such?

Cheers

Yes, its an Adobe file but it needs to be opened with a copy of an Adobe Reader with the DRM protection built in tho. (Free Download)

Any info on a discount code for UK readers?

I think Amazon are the main reseller over here.

My copy was in the mailbox when I got home from work a few minutes ago.

Now I have a quandary ...... should it be placed to the left, or the right, of the First Edition volume on the bookshelf?

Pony Express sent smoke signals and it looks like they are feeding some oats to the horses washed down with water and will be back on the trail by mid morning hoping to arrive some time this week :!: :D
