Allen Wright's Tube Preamp Cookbook

[Jaytor]

It appears that this is no longer available from Vacuum State. I tried to order it from their site and the payment gateway is not working. There was no response to an email I sent to their listed contact.

I'm planning to build an RTP3C line stage and I'm sure this book would be really helpful. Does anyone have a copy they'd need willing to sell?

Hello, I have also tried to buy
The TubePreamp CookBook and The SuperCables CookBook, and the payment gateway is disabled, I've done some research on Vacuum state and it seems to have stopped all commercial activity.
If someone would kindly provide such books I would be willing to purchase a copy.

Has anyone called them? To see them go would be sad, but without driving new products…

That's right Dave, the only thing is trying to get in touch by phone.
I have tried to get in touch by email, and I have lost count of the emails that I have sent insistently
What a pity for the part that corresponds to me, to have known late the great works that Mr. Allen has done

I have also been looking for The Supercables Cookbook, to no avail. Even tried searching for a .pdf version. I may have to try contacting people who have reviewed it to see if they can make me a copy. If so I’ll let you know.

Hey guys check out this thread. This member has both (signed copies no less). https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/pure-silver-foil-for-hi-end-cables.372710/

Can someone PM him directly? I can’t as I just joined. If he could take to a print shop and scan into .pdf we could split the costs. Then he can just email to all of us. Christopher.

You can page a member just as I've paged you now. If you hover your cursor over their username you can see when they last visited the site.

I have a first edition Tube Preamp Cookbook. Near-pristine condition. 60 bucks Canadian including postage. Will accept PayPal.

There's a PDF of the Tube Preamp Cookbook floating around on the net. I'm not saying it's ethical but there it is.

Hi Guys - I have a copy of The SuperCables CookBook by Allen Wright First Edition published by Vacuum State Electronics which I no longer have use for and am looking to sell. It is in very clean condition, with no annotation inside and perfectly bound on original ring binder. The front and back covers have light marking on them. I am attaching images of the book. I believe as above that VSE are no longer in business, so here's a good opportunity to buy this excellent and informative guide to making audio cables, which I have done successfully using the book myself. I live in London, UK. Please message me if interested in buying. Will be listing on eBay soon if no interest here which I would prefer as it will go to someone who will use it.

Mine isn’t in that good a shape :^)

TBH I used it once to make some copper and silver foil cables and then has been in a bookcase resting ever since, so apart from external marking on covers, is pretty much as new.

jrling .... you still have the cook books?

 

[jrling]

No sorry. I sold it on this site under Swap Meet

 

[shattered_dream]

Ok forget it, seems that payment is not working....

 

[jrling]

Yes that's right.

I should think that diyaudio member, Joe Rasmussen, might shed light on the current availability of Allen’s book.

Got a phonecall from Vacuum state, seems it will soon be possible again to order both books...
