Valve Amplifiers

I had an earlier version of Morgan Jones Valve Amplifiers and expected this version to have a few new snippets. I was wrong. This book is almost entirely new information, with copious new information, research, data and inferences. I suppose the book is solid summary of all the reasonably current information you might glean online from various sources. And, Valve amplifiers is nicely arranged and easy to follow. Wow ! THIS is a terrific read !

Great book on how valves work (vacuum tubes). Lots of info on how they are used in a circuit.

This really is a great reference book for the novice beginner any experienced. Well written an easy read and honestly you’ll keep coming back to read parts again. This book is written more from the perspective of a hobbyist a very brilliant hobbyist. Best 60 bucks I’ve spent in a long time

For anyone, whether novice or seasoned pro. will find this book informative and educational. Though some-what biased; As a novice/hobby tinkerer, I was drawn into the book at ach page and wanted to build the smallest circuit just to get a feel for what I have learned! Great reading, easy to follow clear instruction and schematics. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing this book for anyone who may be interested in seeing how a simple circuit like home thermostat to that garage sale (radio/stereo) find! Valve are a simple ground level audio devices that a novice like myself can easily follow! Highly recommended!!!!

I love Morgan Jone's Valve books. He writes in a very clear manner and explains with basic algebra all the material. I do wish he would describe in detail some of the things he mentions in passing. On one page he describes using a CCS as the bias for a push pull class A output stage, then no further mention of it is made. No details of how the terms Anode to Anode Rp of an output transformer is defined or calculated. a Glossary and a list of equivalent European Vs American part numbers would have been nice. But. With all that, and more. This is the best book out for Vacuum tube audio. Buy it, you will learn lots.

Very detailed book, the author knows the subject completely. I appreciate the comments about the relative quality and characteristics of components, I would have no other way of finding out. I also like the inclusion of solid state devices in the circuits, there are things that they are better at than tubes.

This classic is updated and truly one of the most useful vacuum tube engineering books I've ever owned. The math is clearly presented and easy to refer to as needed. The discussions of dynamic range, noise and distortion have just enough depth to be useful during a real design effort. Don't know how I'd previously missed owning such a great book.

It's more of an advanced hobbyist's book, but it's packed with helpful information. I have other good books, like "The Art of Electronics," but Morgan's book will get you grokking those strange tube circuits in no time. Horowitz and Hill's AoE is a monumental achievement, but you'll grasp elements of that encyclopedic tome in ant-sized bites if you're like me. Morgan's book is much breezier, but it still delivers the goods. I'm building an EL84 SEP amp right now. I've built solid state amps, but this is my first scratch-built tube amp and this book instills confidence that you can get the job done.

フェーザーなど複素関数を使うことなく設計を紹介しているので、初心者にもわかりやすいとお思います。

Excelente libro donde se explica muy detalladamente el funcionamiento de los amplificadores a válvulas, de una manera sencilla y con poca complicación matemática. Lástima que no exista versión en castellano para aquellos que, como yo, estamos un poco regañados con la lengua de Shakespeare y debemos echar mano de un buen diccionario técnico para ir traduciendo. Recomendable 100%

Idéal pour celui qui veut comprendre la philosophie de mise en oeuvre des tubes pour les amplis. Et ceci en repartant des bases Inconvénient très copieux ! Excellent achat

Excelente livro, muito bem embalado, entregue rapidamente e em perfeitas condiçōes. Muito bom

One of the go to texts on the subject matter in companion with the building book by morgan a great set... lots of useful info and tips I will do a more extensive review of this when I get round to it...
