designing the power tube section
Anybody have a preferred book on this? I just read Merlin's book on preamp design. Granted I need to go through it some more. Just thought I'd get started on the other half of the amp!
Re: designing the power tube section
I like Richard Kuehnel's book on power amp design.
Some feel that maths can be a bit too much there, but I think it is right up to the job.

London amps book principles of power is very good, it has many power amp section examples and covers power supply's also!
The hook is also made / bound in a way that pages will not start falling out after 6 hours of handling!

Re: designing the power tube section
I really like Merlin Blencowe's "Designing Tube Power Amps".
Too bad he hasn't written it yet.

Re: designing the power tube section
The math and graphs have to be there. I'm an engineering student so I'm not afraid of it. At the same time I'd rather not be reading or rather trying to read a book ment for phd's in electrical engineering.
Re: designing the power tube section
Kuehnel is the shit. Vibratoking turned me on to his work. I only have the one on preamp design and there's math enough to make your head asplode. I'll likely get the one on power amp design eventually. I just feel there's more fun to be had in the pre. I love Merlin's book on preamp design as well. Both of those are great to have on one's shelf. Kuehnel is all math and strictly from the engineering standpoint, while Merlin is a bit more out there, but not lacking in theory or math. Just another perspective, I suppose.
