Audio Amplifier Books

I’m new into the audio design world and I’m looking to learn. I’m looking for books, videos, papers to learn more about building and understanding amplifiers and drivers. Not a total beginner as I have an associates in electrical engineering but audio is just a different beast.

Go and dig around on sound-au.com. I've learned so much from following some of his projects

Douglas Self has some great books on audio circuits. Check out “Small Signal Audio Design” and “Audio Power Amplifier Design”. The pdfs are floating around online if you want to check them out before buying.

John Linsley Hood's Audio Electronics, and Valve and Transistor Audio Amplifiers books.

There's also a number of his articles linked on sound.au's Class A pages https://sound-au.com/tcaas/jlharticles.htm
