Hello , new to site , would like some recomendations on good books
for tube audio design. I have 2 currently

Fundamentals of Radio Valve Technique by Deketh
Principles of Electron Tubes by Herbert Reich
ALL books written by Norman Crowhurst
Valve Amplifiers by Morgan Jones (be warned he's not keen on SE amps!!!!!)
Steve Bench's website; read and digest.
Audio Amplifiers (or something like that, forget what its called) by John Linsley Hood.

Not an exhaustive list, but should keep you quiet for a while

Rainer zur Linde's book is also good (forget what its called, build your own valve amps or something)

Then there's Valley and Wallman

Thank you Powertriode- My only wish at this point is that i could formulate an inteligent question on tube design ahhh but that will come.
back to the books

"Radiotron Designers Hand book --RCA"

IMO, the 1953 edition is a wonderful resource of information.
Read ... read ... read.

After reading, the books, learn from this website.

It is the 1953 edition I have , it is funny ,my friends father gave it to me when I was 19(20 years ago) and I never appreciated the wealth of knowledge that it contained till now.
