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.

Product description

Review

"It is a highly detailed book on the actual design and construction of tube amplifiers…the book covers planning, metalworking, wiring and testing. A real nitty gritty book for hobbyists and serious manufacturers. For example, the book details things like how to orient audio and power transformers to avoid problems of magnetic flux leakage from affecting other transformers or the tubes themselves. The test section is excellent."--ElectronicDesign.com, March 17, 2014

Fantastic book - for the intended purpose

20 December 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

This book gives great coverage to a much lacking topic - the physical construction and testing of tube amplifiers (or, for that matter, any tube gear). It is the best work I have seen in this area, and is invaluable if you need it or are just interested in tube gear wiring and construction.

Tube circuitry is tangential to the information in the book, but it is not the main course here. There are many other books available that discuss tube amplifier circuits. There are few if any others that provide proper coverage of mechanical construction.

Fun!!

This is a fun book to read, I mean its less academic or design centered an more hobbyist/maker oriented. You can learn about the entire process on how to build your own valve amplifiers, from wiring to metalworking, which tools to use, which valves, stages, etc..Im giving it 4 stars because the book features many pictures however they are all in black and white, which makes it difficult to fully appreciate all the details, the kindle version apparently has color pictures.

In my opinion you will not learn how to design an amplifier but you will learn how to build them, which is the purpose of the book, however if you want to learn all the ins and outs of valve design, there are other books more suitable for the purpose like the other book by Mr. Jones Valve Amplifiers, Fourth Edition will seem more apropriate, or my personal favorite Radio Designer's Handbook, Fourth Edition .

It was over my head a lot. It may be useful in the future when my knowledge grows and does have a lot of useful information.

This book explains all the considerations that are required to build a good amplifier. The quality of sound from valve amplifiers makes this book worth considering.

I'll have to agree with the other negative reviews. It is a very big book with little useful information for someone that just wants to build an amp from a schematic. There is a long chapter on metal work. Do I really need to know all that to drill a few holes for screws? Every time I pick it up I just get lost with all the details for something I never expected I'd need, and still don't think I need. I'd rather have a step by step guide of someone building an amp from scratch without all that detail. Chassis layout, heater wiring, wiring in general, grounding, things to avoid... I'm sure it is all in here somewhere but this is just too much.
