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...

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?

For starters, you should read up on Bruce Rozenblit's book "Beginner's guide to tube audio." Following instructions without fully understanding can be deadly and clueless. Not recommended without any prior knowledge as high voltage can kill you.
