The Sound of Silence: Lowest-Noise RIAA Phono-Amps: Designer's Guide
By: Burkhard Vogel
List Price: $129.00
Amazon Price: $115.90

Product Description

There is a wide field of tasks left that can only be satisfyingly attacked with the help of old-fashioned analogue technology, and one of the most important are amplifiers for analogue signals - such as for audio purposes. The content of this book will lead to affordable phono amplifier design approaches which will end up in lowest-noise solutions not far away from the edge of physical boundaries set by room temperature and given cartridges - thus, fully compatible with very expensive so called ?high-end? or ?state-of-the-art? offers on today markets - and, from a noise point of view in most cases outperforming them!

With easy to follow mathematical treatment it is demonstrated as well that theory is not far away from reality. Measured SNs will be found within 1dB off the calculated ones and deviations from the exact amplifier transfer won't cross the ± 0.1dB tolerance lines. Additionally, the book presents measurement set-ups and results. Consequently, comparisons with measurement results of test magazine will soon become easier to perform.

Securing Im and P2P Applications for the Enterprise

Product Description
Are You Ready for the Network Equivalent of Guerrilla Warfare?

Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are taking over the workplace as P2P transfers now account for 70% of all Internet traffic and more than 50% of corporate workstations are running an IM application. IT professionals face the challenge of managing and securing these applications, which last year were the point of entry into corporate networks for 40% of all computer viruses and worms. This book is for system administrators and security professionals who need to bring now ubiquitous IM, P2P, and IRC applications under their control. It provides specific protection strategies for the network and application layers by identifying and blocking malicious traffic.

Grasp Instant Messaging Security Issues See how IM bypasses any gateway antivirus scanning that would normally protect a network from infection.

Bypass AIM Restrictions Learn what to do about free AIM proxies that are available throughout the Internet.

Understand the Yahoo! Messenger Architecture Find out why its ability to use any available port to authenticate and begin communication makes it so difficult to block.

Manage Skype Vulnerabilities Do you know the differences between a standard node, a super node, and a Skype server?

The Biggest P2P You've Never Heard Of Meet the network behind Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster, and iMesh.

Explore the World of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Find out what makes IRC so attractive to cyber-criminals and predators.

DDoS Botnets Turned Bot-Armies Bot Masters make certain each infected machine will connect silently to the IRC server at the point of infection and on startup.

Methods for Botnet Control Understanding these methods will help you locate and remove such threats before they grow and become a problem.

How to gain gain: A Reference Book on Triodes in Audio Pre-Amps
By: Burkhard Vogel
List Price: $89.95
Amazon Price: $71.96

Product Description

The 17 chapters of "How to Gain Gain" give a detailed insight into a collection of the most common gain producing and constant current generating possibilities (28) of triodes for audio pre-amplifier purposes. These chapters also offer complete sets of formulae to calculate gain, frequency and phase responses of certain building blocks built-up with this type of vacuum valve (tube). In all cases detailed derivations of the gain formulae were also presented. All what is needed are the data sheet valve characteristic figures of the triode's mutual conductance, the gain factor and the internal plate (anode) resistance. To calculate frequency and phase responses of gain stages the different data sheet based input and output capacitances have to be taken into account as well. To calculate transfer functions for any kind of triode driven gain stage, including all its bias setting, frequency and phase influencing components, example MathCad worksheets as a second part of each chapter allow easy follow-up and application of the respective formulae. In addition, to demonstrate the differences of feedback and non-feedback relationships, in the last chapter and on MathCad basis, a very extensive and complete calculation example for a three stage linear pre-amplifier as well as a three stage RIAA equalized phono amplifier plays the wind up role of the book.

TCC TC-750 Audiophile Phono Preamp, Pre-amp (Preamplifier)
By:
List Price: $79.95
Amazon Price: $43.50

Product Description
Now available in either BLACK or SILVER FINISH... Improved Edition with Even Better Specs Including 85dB S/N!!! This preamp features better specs than the phono preamps built into most component stereo receivers and amps! Improved PCB layout and 1% tolerance resistors resulting in extremely accurate RIAA equalization (coupled with a s/n ratio a CD player might envy) makes this THE choice for use with high-end systems and sound cards. If you're looking to make archival quality copies of LPs on CD-R, or just looking to hear that analog LP sound produced without coloration or added background noise, this is definitely worth the extra few bucks.... Very nice packaging makes this an excellent gift choice for the audio perfectionist.
