Product Description
Review
"Jam-packed with theory, circuit analysis, and DIY basics, it will walk you through all stages of design so that you can create your own wonders. Jones is an ex-BBC engineer with a cool writing style and you'll find it a no-pain education." Hi-Fi News and Record Review "Valve Amplifiers is an extremely well-written book, containing a wealth of information that all audio designers and builders will find useful." Glass Audio "Many still hanker after the traditional warm valve sound from a hi-fi, and if you're handy with a soldering iron and not afraid of HT voltages, the Jones' book could keep you amused for hours. Filled with designs, tips, and information on every aspect of valve power amplifiers, a basic knowledge of electronics and metalwork is all you'll need to get the most from this (relatively) ancient technology." Lighting & Sound

Format:Paperback
This book covers valve audio electronics from basic principals and progresses to very sophisticated modern tube designs. The accomplished writing style makes the book an easy and enjoyable read with just enough gentle humour too provoke the occasional smile. The author obviously knows his subject well and is able to communicate it clearly. The in-depth coverage of passive components is a particular bonus. There is also a useful section on construction and testing. Armed with this book you could design and build you own valve amplifiers, I did.

Jones has really cornered the market with this superb bible on valve audio - there really isn't a more comprehensive guide with the same refined expertise that he clearly possesses. The writing is clear and concise covering a wide range of useful topics.
If like me you are a relative beginner in amplifier theory it will provide a low-pain introduction into the field (be warned there's few introductory notes on basic electronics - you'll need another textbook for that; however, the style encouages learning a minimum of theory for maximum effect), and I've been assured by various other sources that for advanced users it will still serve as an invaluble reference book.
I'd also like to note that it would be an ideal first book for getting into musical instrument amplification.
Top marks.

The book is very well constructed and structured. All steps for building valve amplifiers are clearly covered, from basics to the whole amplifier project. I recommend this book to everyone searching for a deeper knowledge about vacuum tube amplifiers design.

Technically brilliant and readable to boot
Morgan Jones updates his comprehensive guide to valve amplifier design, producing for what could be a very dry subject a very readable book. Read more

Very thorough and starting with basics. I've a real interest in valve amps but never strayed into electronics before. Read more

Comments on 1st Edition of Valve Amplifiers
I find it puzzling that this book has survived to see a 3rd edition. Readers with an EE background will be dissapointed with this book. Read more

Morgan Jones' grasp of audio systems is exemplory.
This is a fine book well explained, having known the author through his lectures, I know that his explanations always hold up to close scrutiny.
