Gentlemen/gentlewomen:
Would it possible to build from the ground up (tube out) a simple SE amp by taking directions from you (the learned ones) online--here?
For my benefit as well as other readers, could I test the components based on your suggestions/directions, and most importantly, learn the principles of tube amplification while building it? It is not important for me to have the amp at the end. Rather, the learning and experience is my goal. Perhaps there are others like me.
I have built from a kit a PP, PCB-type tube amp, but unfortunately, did not really learn a lot about the principles.
I have no doubt that I could assemble a tube amp from a schematic if given the values for the components i.e. resistance, voltage, capacitance, etc. That is not the point. I would like to eventually design/ select components.
Is it possible/advisable? Or should I stick with the textbooks (time consuming and boring).
Your comments appreciated.
Aspiring diyer,
Rick
