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. The only hands-on approach to building valve and tube amps--classic and modern--with a minimum of theory Design, construction, fault-finding, and testing are all illustrated by step-by-step examples, enabling readers to clearly understand the content and succeed in their own projects Includes a complete self-build amplifier project, putting into practice the key techniques introduced throughout the book Review: Great Reference for Those Building or Working on Tube Amplifiers - Morgan Jones is now on the 4th Edition of his book "Valve Amplifiers" and has now written a new book "Building Valve Amplifiers" that goes into more detail on the design and construction of them. As an electronics hobbyist and not a trained engineer, I've found his books to be just right in their balance of theory, math and practical knowledge. I think that a lot of people have been waiting for this book and I will say that it has been worth the wait. It has become an essential reference on my work bench. Review: Fantastic book - for the intended purpose - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #282,880 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Microelectronics #29 in Acoustic Engineering #58 in Physics of Acoustics & Sound (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | ## Images ![Building Valve Amplifiers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YM6JeARBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reference for Those Building or Working on Tube Amplifiers *by D***. on October 25, 2022* Morgan Jones is now on the 4th Edition of his book "Valve Amplifiers" and has now written a new book "Building Valve Amplifiers" that goes into more detail on the design and construction of them.
