Good book for tubes and stuff

[Doug Ferrell]

Tony,
	Another recent book from Newnes press is "Valve and Transistor Audio
Amplifiers" by John Linsley Hood, 1997, ISBN 0 7506 3356 5.  It has some
overlap with the Morgan book someone else already mentioned, but there's
also a lot of other stuff.  The first half of the book is tubes and the
second is salid state.  He covers a lot of ground from basics to various
designs of the past (lots of pre-amp, RIAA, and power amp stuff).  Like the
Morgan book it is Hi-Fi oriented.  It's also a bit expensive (about $40
paperback in the US).
	I've found several good electronics textbooks from the 30s-60s in second
hand bookstores for cheap.  Also got a good stack of books from a professor
who was cleaning his office before retiring about 10 years back.

Good luck,

Hi all,

I would like a good book on tube amp design. The more technical stuff
the better. But not how to make your Fender to sound like a pre-CBS
unit. Any recommendations?
