Vacuum Tube Amplifier Basics

It is true that accurately calculating electronic circuits can involve complicated formulas, but for the electronic hobbyist it is not necessary to perform at the level of an electrical engineer. With some basic knowledge it is possible for the hobbyist to design and build vacuum tube audio amplifiers that perform well.
This book covers basic electronics related to vacuum tube amplifiers, an elementary guide for understanding and working with vacuum tube amplifier circuits. Sections cover electronic and audio information that is concise with many examples and illustrations. Vacuum tube amplifying circuits are explained in simple terms without complicated math. Math is primarily basic math and a few simple formulas all solvable with a standard calculator and presented with examples. A table of component values for the popular 12AX7 in various operating parameters simplifies amplifier stage design.
Includes project circuits with parts list and component layouts for a Buffer Line Amplifier with 25db gain, Triode Balanced/Unbalanced Input, Tone Control Stage, Turntable Pre-Amplifier, 6V6SE Stereo Amplifier, 6V6SE Monoblock Amplifier and a 30 Watt Monoblock Amplifier designed for tube rolling (using various type output tubes). Also, included is a Guitar Amplifier project.
NOTE: Be aware that when this book is read in a Kindle reader paragraphs and associated illustrations get split between page turning. An alternative is to purchase the print replica version of this book ASIN: B01H3Z1VPM and read on your laptop or PC using Kindle for PC. The print replica version is like reading the paperback book.
