A good series of books is "The<br>
encyclopedia of electronic circuits" - there's at least 7 volumes.<br>
It's reproductions of "circuits and Ideas" type magazine articles from<br>
EE Times and such, and most circuits have a good English description,<br>
similar to Heathkit manuals which included both schematics and<br>
"Circuit Description" sections, which I also recommend. Here's a link<br>
to one I quickly found:<br>

Is there a specific schematic you have in mind? If you post it here we<br>
should be able to help you with it.<br>
<br>
There's a couple of schematics I've looked at and didn't manage to<br>
figure out anything, the Yamaha CS-80 (it's huge anyway), it seems to<br>
be mostly lines connecting everything. Likewise is the Technics SP-10<br>
turntable, an older direct drive that uses a lot of discrete<br>
transistors in the drive electronics. I can guess overall how it<br>
works, but couldn't tell which groups of transistors did what. There's<br>
a big thread on it at <a href="http://diyaudio.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">diyaudio.com</a> and I've asked there, but I suspect<br>
they don't want to admit they don't know how it works.<br>
