The most complete and practical modern reference on Audiophile Vacuum Tube technology! Destined to become a true classic in its field, this unique DIY Design & Construction manual presents the theory and practice of amplifier Design & Construction in a balanced way. -Electronic technicians and engineers f. -Buyers and sellers of tubes and Tube equipment who need a better understanding of Tube technology. -DIY constructors who wish to take their knowledge and building skills to a higher level.
Who is this book for? -Audiophiles and guitar players wanting to learn how tubes and Tube Amplifiers work.
All the information required to Design and build Tube Amplifiers is compiled in one place.
There is no need to search for, download and print such information, saving you valuable time.
Hundreds of such valuable illustrations make it easy to comprehend issues.
This practical DIY manual is richly and professionally illustrated with photographs of tubes, components and amplifiers, circuit diagrams, Tube pinouts, curves and loadlines, graphs and charts.
For those familiar with solid state devices, such as bipolar transistors and FETs, an easy and seamless transition into Tube technology is provided in the book, which adopts a unifying approach to amplification and rectification devices, be they of solid state or Vacuum Tube kind.
The advanced topics that other books don\'t even mention, such as audio transformer design, Construction and testing, make this reference manual a valuable addition to your technical library.
Even Tube Testing and Tube testers are discussed at great length, as is troubleshooting, Repairing and modifying (upgrading) Tube gear.
Apart from various audio circuits, electronic components, power supplies and tests & measurements are also covered in depth.
Although the focus is on Audiophile or hi-fi Vacuum Tube amplifiers, those interested in Tube guitar amps will also benefit from the wealth of material presented, most of which directly applies to Tube guitar amps as well.
The first few chapters of Volume 1 are a complete training course in fundamentals of electronics.
Just get your soldering iron ready and start building! Absolute beginners will benefit from the methodological approach, starting with DC circuits, then moving into AC voltages and currents and their circuits.
For those who dislike formulas and want proven, practical, ready-to-build designs, dozens of such commercial, tried & tested circuits are explained and analyzed.
