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

1)beginners guide to tube design -- just about finished with that one

2) Radiotron Designers Hand book --RCA (about the size of 2 copys of war and peace)


Any suggestions would be welcome.

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:D

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
