Building Valve Amplifiers is a unique hands-on guide for anyone working
with tube audio equipment--as an electronics hobbyist, audiophile or
audio engineer. This 2nd Edition builds on the success of the
first with technology and technique revisions throughout and,
significantly, a major new self-build project, worked through
step-by-step, which puts into practice the principles and techniques
introduced throughout the book.
Particular attention has been paid to answering questions commonly asked
by newcomers to the world of the valve, whether audio enthusiasts
tackling their first build or more experienced amplifier designers
seeking to learn about the design principles and trade-offs of "glass
audio." Safety considerations are always to the fore, and the practical
side of this book is reinforced by numerous clear illustrations
throughout.
