We have no intention of wading into the vacuum tube versus silicon debates audiophiles seem to thrive on. But we know a quality build when we see it, and this gorgeous tube preamp certainly looks like ...

Most PC “mic” inputs are pretty average for noise and distortion, and they’re usually mono. Plus, they can’t properly take balanced, pro microphones that often need 48-V phantom power. This ...

This cable tv amplifier circuit is a rf amplifier designed to be quickly installed between two coaxial cables. Both input and output impedances are compatible with 75 Ω cables. The main amplifier si ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...
