Incorporate the "tube sound" into your home audio system

Learn how to work with vacuum tubes and construct high-quality audio amplifiers on your workbench with help from this hands-on, do-it-yourself resource. The TAB Guide to Vacuum Tube Audio: Understanding and Building Tube Amps explains tube theory and construction practices for the hobbyist.

Seven ready-to-build projects feature step-by-step instructions, detailed schematics, and layout tips. You'll also find out how to tweak the projects, each based on a classic RCA design, for your own custom-built amps.

Coverage includes:

Principles and operational theory behind vacuum tubes
Tube nomenclature, applications, and specifications
Circuit layout, connections, and physical construction
Finding and selecting the right components for the project
Power supplies for vacuum tube circuits
Preamplifier and power amplifier circuits
Performance measurement
Safety, maintenance, and troubleshooting techniques
Tips on building your own tube-based system—and having fun in the process

This book is intended for hobbyists interested in adding the tube sound to any audio system. (Readers looking for high-performance audiophile books are urged to consider the McGraw-Hill books by Morgan Jones.)
