Build Your Own AF Valve Amplifiers

Download or read book Build Your Own AF Valve Amplifiers written by Rainer Zur Linde and published by Elektor International Media. This book was released on 1995 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many people, the thermionic valve or electron tube is history. However, whether it is nostalgia, interest in the technical parameters, the appeal of a gleaming amplifier chassis with softly glowing valves, respect for the technical know-how of an earlier generation, or perhaps the firm conviction that the sound of a valve cannot be bettered, it is a fact that the valve is making a come-back. The book contains, apart from construction projects for preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and two amplifiers for musical instruments, information on the operation of electron tubes, while the first chapter gives a short history of the valve.
