Abstract
The purpose of this book is an economic one: to enable the reader to calculate certain noise related aspects of a phono-amp before building it up, thus, saving a lot of energy and time as well as avoiding needless expenses. That’s why I won’t debate whether the black box between the output of a turn-table and the input of an amplifier (amp) with the volume control is a pre-amp or a pre-pre-amp or what ever it will be. This book follows the purpose and that will be the only story to tell.
