The World Wide Web makes it easy to share ideas and knowledge. This part of the site will
contain articles about Audio, Theory and practical matters. If there is
something you would like to add or maybe if you disagree with something you can send me an email.
- Power supplies
: An extensive article on how power supplies for
different equipment should be built and calculated. It refers mostly to end
amplifiers, which need the largest power supply when it comes to current
rating.
- Class A :
This is a general article referring to class A amplifiers and how they are
biased.
- Grounding amps
: A not so easy subject for those who have built
amplifiers and other audio projects. Hum and noise from false grounding is
something very common. This article here is an attempt to clarify the
subject in a simple way.
- Heatsinks
: Here you can find anything you need to know about
heatsinks. Their function, purpose, how they work, how you can calculate
them and how to read the data books before you order them.
- More on Heatsinks, some
Thermodynamics : What to be carefull of so you
donīt have thermodynamic problems in your designs.
- Benefits of active loudspeaker
systems : A list of the benefits
of active loudspeaker crossovers over conventional passive crossovers.
- Volume control
: This subject is one of the most interesting subjects for
me and a lot of talk has been done over it. I want to present here different
kinds of volume controls as I find them here and there. So this is more of a
group of articles and not one. As many of you out there I am still trying to
find what the best way is to control volume.
- Wiring tube circuits
: A short but very helpful list of what we should take in
consideration when we wire tube circuits due to different problems that can
come up. Problems that don't exist in solid state circuits.
- Tuning a
power supply transformer : Can this be done?
According to this article it can do wonders. It is tried and the results are
audible. Also a small list on what value to use for each transformer size.
