Hi guys,

I am planning on building my own valve amp and need a starting point
viz. books, forums etc. Any tips would be of good help.

**Just listen to a bunch of amps in your price range. Buy or build the
one you like. Just for yuks, see if you can organise a blind test of
the amps. That orta sort out the dodgy ones. For valve amps, unless
you build it PRECISELY the way you hear it (same valves, same output
transformers, etc) you will be wasting your time.


More totally stupid *advice* from Trevor...

For a kick-off, how TF do you suggest he goes about organising the
test - ask 'Valve Amps R Us' if he can play with half their stock for a
few hours then, having picked one (real easy), ask them for a circuit
diagram and a parts list for it...??
