How to build your own tube amplifier?

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

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

What sort of expertise does one need in order to do this. Is it just a matter of following instructions or do you need to be an engineer type person?
