newcomer introduction

[plovati]

Hi to all,
I'm working on a open source vacuum tube project with the goal of document a design and realization of a 100euro-budget SET amplifier and the associated 100euro Full Range loudspeaker.

Surfing the web, I discovered this website and its interesting discussion, so I decided to subscribe.

Please take a look to the embrional project here

Text is in italian, but there's many drawings and formulas.
We're in the process to put the documents on some electronic format and we're thinking to translate everithing in English, if there will be some interest.

Regards,

You seem to be the guy that still likes to do the math with paper and pencil.
Unfortunately this is way above my head but very nice to look at.
Please do translate this.
A warm welcome to the forum plovati. 🙂

I used PC for the first few page, but shortly I realized that paper is faster, especially for drawings ans sketches. Also I learned that electronic CAD can lead You in deep misunderstandanding, if used instead of thought.

The website is a first temptative to collect useful papers and some indication of design, in order to estabilish a proven way to really understand tubes, instead of just replies some obscure gurus phrases.

Math and drawings are universal, I hope that somebody will look at them to criticize and correct.

Thanks for Yours attention.
