DizRotus Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 What books would you recommend to someone trying to learn about tube amplifiers? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Like many others newly arriving or returning to tubes, I would like to understand whats going on, perform service, adjustments, upgrades and, perhaps, build an amplifier from scratch. So far Ive acquired and read: Beginners Guide To Tube Audio Design, by Bruce Rozenblit; How To Service Your Own Tube Amp, by Tom Mitchell; and Building Valve Amplifiers, by Morgan Jones I would rate them in the order listed and recommend reading them in that order. The Rozenblit and Jones books are available from http://www.audioxpress.com/ . All three are probably available from Amazon. The Mitchell book is specifically about guitar amplifiers, but its useful. What other books would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hardy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I would recommend Rozenblit's book (which you've already got) and also the venerable US Navy publication called "Basic Electronics" or something like that. It's very easy to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylanl Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have a good online book called a "Taste of Tubes" that has some very helpful information. I will email it to you if you would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
