I have one. Pretty good basic info. But still has commercial leanings and bias towards SF/Anthem 'design ideals' of course. JMHO. YMMV.
Follow Ups:
Hey, it's free and has more info about tubes than any audio rag.
Yeah, I know.It's just that I had a bad experience once with an Anthem Pre1 (w/ Phono) when I was a newbie. The dealer didn't tell me the preamp was discontinued when he sold me the preamp around early '97 (I think he knew, it was his last unit) . It was full of problems; still is. His tech can't troubleshoot the problem it developed just within a month of ownership (bad design 1-piece wafer-thin crct. board IMHO). Can't send it to SF then for repairs (I live in Asia!), too much hassle and it will cost me more $$$.
I've never owned SF or Anthem gear so...the book has enough info to be worthwhile though. Most, including myself are not up for an engineering tome.
