I was looking for a more 'hands-on' book which would give me more pointers on practical valve amp construction and refurbishing. I've done a fair bit of work with modern chip-amps and 70's/80's transistor amps but want to start working (safely) with tube amps. Having looked at the samples online and downloaded a kindle sample I decided to give 'Valve Tube Amplifier Basics' a try, so i bought the paperback version.The format is listed as 'paperback' but if you look at the dimensions you'll see that its a large-format paperback around A4 size with very clear text, black-and-white drawing and photographs. The only colour is the front cover. I'm very pleased with the size and format and the clarity of the content, although to be fair it does have a slight self-published 'photocopier' feel about it which i find enjoyably retro old-school.If I was an expert in valve amplifiers (which I'm not) and wanted to pass on my knowledge to a wider audience then this is the book I would write. The diagrams and text are clear and work well together and are pitched at just the right level for the beginner/intermediate. Its also very practical, favouring hands-on advice and construction information rather than theory. Armed with this book and some solid guidelines on electrical safety I now feel confident to have a go at my own valve amp projects.This is also great value. I'm not in a position to compare content with the other texts on valve amps (apart from 'Vacuum Tube Audio' by Whitaker - which I own and would recommend), but similar books covering the same ground are £10-£20 more expensive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best introduction to valve book *by A***K on 10 October 2023* For someone looking to pick up this hobby and be able to understand the theory, this book is great. It explains everything in an accessible way and also relates it all into the practical side of how to apply that theory when building an amp.If you find Morgan Jones a bit heavy going, get this first, it's the perfect gateway. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Primary transformer specifications *by C***S on 30 May 2021* I have had some success in making the projects in this book. However before buying this book you need to know that the projects specify Edcor primary transformers. There is not always an equivalent e.g by Hammond, and Edcor no longer ships to the uk or the eu (following brexit). Edcor’s distributor in Europe (don-audio) does not stock the full range of Edcor transformers and don’t answer emails either! So if you are planning to build any of the projects you might have to get the primary transformers custom made.Edit. after building more projects I believe I overstated the transformer difficulty! In practice buy an overrated transformer and use high wattage dropping resistors - that is the simplest solution!! Not elegant I know but practical and pragmatic. Projects in this book are really good and easy to build as the author sets out the wiring needed. Highly recommended book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/48625792-vacuum-tube-amplifier-basics-paperback-26-aug-2014](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/48625792-vacuum-tube-amplifier-basics-paperback-26-aug-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
