Here are some articles covering audio amplifiers. Some of the articles are describing do it yourself amplifiers, on a non commercial basis. The author has no responsibility what so ever regarding these descriptions.

Non-Feedback Class A Pre/power-Amplifier

This brand new design is an audio non-feedback class A amplifier, divided into two parts: 1) A Buffer Amplifier working in class A with a voltage gain of 0 dB, but with a very high current gain, and 2) A Voltage Amplifier also working in class A, with a high voltage gain and a low output impedance. It is also possible to use this amplifier as a headphone amplifier or an ordinary preamplifier.

For both the Buffer and the Voltage Amplifier, it is possible to get printed circuit boards.

DC coupled amplifiers for audio

This is a general desription of the differential stage, the operational amplifier and the current feedback amplifier.

RIAA

This is firstly a general description of RIAA phono equalising and secondly a short description of the author's own RIAA amplifier.

Class A Amplifiers

This article is discussing audio power amplifiers, revealing the advantages of class A amplifiers compared to class B and A/B.

Class A CFB Power Amplifier

This is a relatively detailed description of a DIY 'Current Feedback' class A power amplifier rated to 2x25 W RMS (new and updated version!). An elder version may be found here.

Classical Class A Power Amplifier

This article is a detailed description of a DIY Classical 'Voltage Feedback' class A power amplifier rated up to 2x50 W RMS.

Cascode Class A Power Amplifier

This article is a short description of a DIY Folded Cascode 'Non-feedback' class A power amplifier rated to 2x30 W RMS.

Headphone Amplifier

This article is a short description of a DIY JFET/MOSFET headphone amplifier for impedances between 32 and 1200 ohms. The article is updated oct 2006.
