Conventional wisdom has it that the solid state era in electronics began in 1948 with the invention of the transistor, or if you wish to split hairs, with the 1930s invention by the Russian [Oleg ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

It may not be to everyone's taste, but this brand new monobloc amplifier from McIntosh cleverly blends both vacuum tube and solid-state technology in one chassis. If you’re not a serious audiophile ...

Modern power electronics are growing in both power capacity and density, making circuit protection more important than ever. There's increasing interest in solid−state circuit breakers and power ...

In the first part of this two-part blog post I talked about one of my first “up-close-and-personal” experiences with tube-based audio electronics – a home-built hybrid solid-state/tube electrostatic ...
