About – me

I spent three decades with Burr-Brown Corporation in Tucson, Arizona, working in precision analog and digital semiconductor test engineering, developing hardware and automated test solutions for DACs, ADCs, op-amps, instrumentation amps and other mixed-signal devices. My work included engineering characterization, automated wafer-probe testing, precision laser-trim systems, environmental testing, and production test programs and hardware. Prior to my retirement, I worked on Printed Circuit board design and development for the Analog and Digital business units at Burr-Brown.

About – LAIN Audio

The same test-and-measurement discipline I used at Burr-Brown guides my work at LAIN Audio. Each amplifier is individually assembled using point-to-point wiring on an FR-4 eyelet board and carefully selected components.

After assembly, the amplifier is electrically tested and its operation verified. Any problems are diagnosed and corrected before the amplifier undergoes a 48-hour burn-in. It then receives a final electrical inspection and performance test before packaging and shipment.

The objective is straightforward: carefully built guitar amplifiers whose performance can be measured as well as heard.
