tubegeek's review against another edition
5.0
This book is extremely valuable and builds impressively on the excellent 1st edition.
The perspective is that of the working professional audio equipment designer and Self's emphasis is on lowest cost for highest performance. Useful features are examined along with best practices for implementation. You could literally design a mixing console with the information in this book, and design it well. there are principles I have internalized from reading (and re-reading) this book which have informed my own work and become part of my skill set.
Douglas Self also has the rare ability to take technical writing and make it funny - that is quite a gift.
I am largely self- (Self- ?) taught in audio electronics and a book of this quality is worth its weight in Telefunken ECC83's.
