Book Review: Getting the Most Out of Vacuum Tubes

Book Review: Getting the Most Out of Vacuum Tubes

I ordered this book, Getting the Most Out of Vaccum Tubes, from KCK Media Corp. while I was researching tube service life issues. It is an unusual book, not discussing what you can do with tubes, how to use them in circuits, operating parameter calculations, or that sort of thing. Instead, it is solely devoted to factors that decrease useful service life or cause catastrophic failures.

Current-Driving of Loudspeakers Book Review

Current-Driving of Loudspeakers Book Review

Since its publication in 2010, “Current-Driving of Loudspeakers" by Esa Meriläinen, was received with both enthusiasm and skepticism. Effectively, Meriläinen anticipated the criticism when writing in his book preface: “The subtitle of the book may at first sound too much promising or inflated, which it, however, is not at all; for as will show up especially in chapter 4, the issue is indeed about a fundamental fallacy in sound reproduction technology.” In this article, published originally in Voice Coil, July 2010, Joseph DeMarinis not only reviews the book but also runs tests of the theory.
