Since I've been working with valve-based electronics for several years now,
it's high time that I started putting some of the stuff I've learned down in
writing. This section therefore includes (lengthy!) articles on:
 | How valve amps work, which
introduces valve-based electronics and explains the principles behind valve
rectifiers, gain stages, output stages, and so on. It's also packed with
worked examples. |
| Transformer design, which is
about the design of audio transformers. This will eventually have some
hands-on construction notes to complement the design section. |
| Regulated power supplies,
which explains the different kinds of active valve regulators in use.
Complete with some tried-and-tested schematics. |
| Distributed loading, my
notorious article on how and why we use unusual output stages like
ultra-linear, the Quad acoustical, and pure cathode followers. |
| Triode-mode pentodes, which
explains why, and how, we often turn valves like the KT66 or EL34 into
'triodes'. |
As always, just e-mail me at griffon@ntlworld.com
if you've got any questions.
