How to build your own tube amplifier?


Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any sources that they could recomend on building tube amplifiers. Any books or anything on building amps would be very helpful. I would like to attempt building my own amplification. I think that it would be fun...

You don't need to go back to 1955?? Go today, to diyaudio. They have a whole section devoted to DIY tubes. Read this for a few weeks, and you will be full of ideas. Just look at the thread subjects!!

pick up some back issues and/or subscribe to audioxpress magazine. they have diy project plans for amps, as well as other equipment. i first built a simple 12.5 watt tube amp that turned out great. i just swapped all off the generic parts for audiophile-grade parts and now it's amazing. i then built a pair of 100watt triode monoblocks from this mag and they turned out to be incredible. check their website at www.audioxpress.com
if you want to look into the issues that i used, send me an e-mail for more info.
happy building
don

A few years ago I built an amplifier from a kit from Audio Electronic Supply, a division of Cary Audio. It was a great deal of fun and the amplifier sounded wonderful. Go to http://www.audioelectronicsupply.com
