load lines and all that theory

[d2camero]

sigh...

OK, I want to design a PP class A power stage. Looks like I'll have to blow the cob webs out of the head and hit the books. Is there an **easy**, **step by step** guide out there somewhere for non EEs? Perhaps a nice web site?

thanks

Yeah, I'll just read that tonight.

For any others who are interested, I found

http://www.freewebs.com/valvewizard

to be helpful in step by step calculations for designing both SE and PP output stages.

sorry, man, I wasn't trying to be a smartass -- just trying to lend a hand.
BTW, I included the valvewizard link, as well.

my apologies for being critical.

Thanks, JP!

Wow, good stuff!

+1 on that. I see several in that list I haven't checked out, it's always good to have maximum sources!
