I every tube lover and builder
one little question fore you i am a newbie about tube amp but i learning kind of fast
so my dream is to build my own tube amp
then my question is
I don t really have experience in circuit design but I starting to with your super forum
so is it possible to think to start building one this summer after ressourcing myself into electronic
or fore the fist one a kit will be a best option ore simply buy one assemble
thank all
ho and im better in french lol

Are you looking to try to design something from the beginning or to build something from existing plans?
Do you have any basic background in electronics (Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Law, Thevenin and Norton circuits)? Any basic background in electronic construction (soldering, basic metal working)?
And finally, do you have some local help to keep you from killing yourself with high voltages your first time out?
Once we know where you're starting, we may be able to point you in a useful direction.

Hi there
If you really are starting from scratch, then I would go for a kit. Much easier than sourcing your own parts and trying to follow a schematic from the web. Make sure you read the Safety Thread at the top of the page though, working with high voltages demands a lot of care!

ok so
im not completely noob i have some basic about audio
i install a lot of complete quality kit in car including mine
just to give you an idea an im begening to understand the shematitic of a tube amp
and yes I surely will use an existing plan
and how much will I save this way
and thank for the advice

How much power are you looking for?
Would you prefer push-pull, single-ended or doesn't it matter?

about 20 watt will be good for a first amp i guest
and my speaker home made most dinamic posible over 90 db
and the simplest so doesnt matter thanks

Ok, try a forum search for some 6V6 push-pull units. They are easy to drive, will give about 15W (90dB speakers aren't going to notice 5W less) and it's real hard to make a bad sounding 6V6 amp.
There's my

In English you can read Morgan Jones "Valve Amplifiers" - very good for beginners. I'm not sure what the equivalent is in French - is there a "standard" text in French for tube amplifiers, or a set of tutorials online? Anyone know?
