Twaddle, stuff, and nonsense
Yet another schizo review by "Paul", who apparently has
an obsession of some sort. I can't tell if he's actually
read the book for content, or skimmed it and decided the
author's attitudes conflicted with his, and isn't about to
let anyone forget it.
I found the book useful as I did Self's. It's a jumping-off
point for geeks like me who find some fascination with
audio electronics design. Slone's not God (Leach is

.
There are at least a million ways to design and build
audio amplifiers, some of which are better than most. He
covers only part of that vast range of design, of course.
Slone's skepticism of audio cognescenti is understandable;
they argue perceptions without understanding technology, he designs
what they cannot and of course they bite the hand that feeds
them. I find his attitudes honest and refreshing.
And the arguments go on, ad infinitum. Buy the book, read
it and see if it's a useful reference to go on the shelf
with your other references, give it away to someone deserving,
or drop it off at a used bookstore for a dime on a dollar.
At any rate, make it YOUR decision.
