I'd like some recommendations on reading with respect to amplifier design and function. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and electronics has always been something that I never learned but seemed helpful. I'm open to both technical recommendations and something more colloquially written!

Honestly anything about functional circuits would be interesting too!

Thanks in advance!

This book is used as a reference by many (including Graham!):

https://artofelectronics.net/ - https://artofelectronics.net/

It is a mighty tome, but well worth having. It will help in understanding the basics before getting into the detail.

Graham shares some insight into Phono Preamp design here:

https://www.hifisystemcomponents.com/forum/phono-preamp-project_topic745.html - https://www.hifisystemcomponents.com/forum/phono-preamp-project_topic745.html

If you search the Forum using parameters Keyword "Design", Member "Graham Slee", "anytime" , "In Topic" it will bring up a wealth of information.

Happy Reading

Ian
