To truly enjoy this hobby, I need to learn electronics. Any book recs?


I am at square zero in terms of understanding this stuff, and I am tired of navigating by Braille.

I want to find a class or a book that can give me at least the basics of how these circuits work to produce sound.

I would appreciate any suggestions of books, channels or classes that can help.

For a few years before his tragic passing in 2019, Roger Modjeski of Music Reference was teaching a class on audio electronics in Berkeley/Oakland. If I was living in the Bay Area then I would definitely have enrolled.

For an introduction to his thinking on amplifier design, search for his talks at the annual Burning Amp Festival, held in San Francisco. There are videos of his hour-long presentations viewable on YouTube, as are those of Nelson Pass.

Contact Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere. I'm sure he can recommend some books on electronic theory, circuit design, etc. Forget about books aimed at audiophiles, like the one by Robert Harley; that's not technical information, it's hi-fi consumer advice.
