"Sander deWaal" emitted :

Have you ever heard of a prof. Hawksford from Essex Univ.?
He seems to be regarded *the* supreme audio prof by some people.
I'm told that "PIP" Owen Jones and "LFD" Richard Bews owe him much.

I recognise his name from a series of articles in the 80's that proved
quite controversial... "The Essex Chronicles" (or something like that)
involving some of the most hardcore analysis of cables seen to date.
The mathematics were universally accepted (even if all the conclusions
weren't), he's clearly a learned fellow. If I recall correctly he
recommended using thin solid core as it pushes skin effect out of the
audible spectrum.

I'm having fun reading some of his material current mirrors,
folded cascode stages and more.

Your idea of fun is different to mine :-)

This guy knows what he's doing, it seems.

Yes, and he's a bit of a dude too. Likes to hang out in Marrakesh and
Nepal... probably.
