Good Evening Gentlefolk, I am a newbie in this forum but an old hand at building tube amplifiers, unfortunately very old :-(. Anyway, I read an article about TubeCad and decided to get back in the game and so I set up a virtual machine on my computer, 32bit Windows XP especially to run TubeCad. I am an Electronic Engineer BTW. Anyhoo, When I went to the Glassware site I found that the link to download and pay does not work. Is there any way to obtain and of course pay for this excellent software?

Designers and constructors here on diyAudio typically use LTSPICE for circuit simulation.
Almost all of the shared simulated circuits posted here are LTSPICE files, including tube amplifiers. I am not aware of any circulation of tubecad files in this way.

This is no surprise - LTPSICE is free and unlimited, it is under very active development, and it includes most of the functions an amplifier designed might need.

THere are many threads offering support and tricks; try this for starters:

LTSPICE get started

It's much easier to get help or opinions, if you post LTSPICE files! Hold on to your money and give it a try.

I use the same LTSPICE for professional industrial designs - might be useful for you, as you are an EE too.

Works natively on Win or Mac-OS, and very well on Linux (with WINE). Get it here:
