He doesn't waste time telling you which capacitor brand "sounds warmer." He talks about Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), slew rate, and noise floors. If you are an objectivist who thinks expensive cables are snake oil, you will feel very at home here.
You need to pair this book with the internet. Use it for the circuit topologies, the PCB layout guidance, and the safety rules. Then, go to Mouser or DigiKey with your phone to find modern equivalents for the transistors. the audiophile's project sourcebook
