can someone explain to me the difference between these three different amps?
I know most modern SS amps are op amp based. Right?
I remember that transistor amps were classed into different groups? Meaning the output was linear to the input...hence they were called class C? this was for RF amps though.
what the hell is class A? B? A/B?
tubes...just a mystery to me...I do remember reading about grid and some other stuff..took me long enough to figure out what OTL means and I still don't understand how it applies....
Perhaps a layman can decipher all this tech talk and make it clear for me?
thanks,
